Hi Everyone,



Just wanted to thank everyone for their love and support at this time. We have another great hole in our lives but I can't tell you all how much it means to the family to know that Dad had such great friends and family and as long as we remember that he was always truly happiest with Mom then we will find some smiles and warm memories now that we know they are together. Love you all. Annie
