Alison so sorry for your loss. I know that you loved your dad and you will miss him. Sorry I could not be at the service, but will be thinking of you and your mom and your family tomorrow as you have the memorial service. I know the pain of loosing a parent since I have been there already. But he is out of his pain and with the angels now.
