I sure do miss you. A lot has taken place since you left us, your family has grown, as well as mine. You now have my Mom and Uncle Skip have joined you along with lots of other family members and friends from Parkesburg. You are truly living in a better place, our world is a mess. I believe we will all be with you sooner than we think. I still have our memories of time spent together and they all make me smile. Give my Mom a big hug from me!
