Stacy, Sean and Sam, I have thought about your family over the years since we lost touch. My sympathies to you and the rest of the family on the loss of your father. I used to babysit for the three of you when you lived in Blackhawk and I loved your family and your cool house! It was always fun when your dad took me home in his beloved vette. Take care of each other and hang on to the good memories.
