Mike I am sorry but will not be in town till work Tuesday so will not attend the service. You know better than anyone about death and know that there will be times that you will wish you could call dad and ask him advise or about something that only the older generation could know. When the quality of life is gone we are all better letting them go. Once again you have my sympathy and know that if you need anything just call.
