Dude and Jana,
I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad. Although bittersweet, you know his soul is resting now, and he struggles no more. Dude, I know how incredibly blessed you've always felt to have a dad like Sambo. And, I'll always remember how he loved Jana Roo. What a great legacy he leaves in you, your siblings, and all of the children. God Bless, and know you guys are loved.
