Hal & Bud, no matter how old we are when our dad passes away, we are never prepared. Our heart aches and the pain is so great yet the memories and the love we carry of them helps ease the pain in time. The book Bud wrote about Fish Creek means so much more now. I know your sorrow and am holding you in my thoughts and prayers, Carolyn
