Loved your mom and dad. I waited on them at Old Daley Inn and we became close. All they talked about were their girls. Great memories. Your mom was a beauty and your father just loved her. Perfect couple. Reminded me of my parents. I met one of you girls in Verdiles and you gave me matches that I loved.
