Karolyn,
You have been a caring and loving daughter. I hope you will find comfort in knowing your dad is at peace, with your mom. I have been thinking of you. You are in my prayers. Kristin

Karolyn and Karroll, I am sorry to hear of Uncle Johns passing. I use to love talking to him about his carpentry skills and often he would tell Chuck and I how to build something or repair it! And the parties in the basement- how fun those were with both your parents and Uncle John made a good drink to. Memories I have found to be the sustaining factor after the death of a loved one. I'm sure you both have many such memories. I am sorry that I won't be able to attend but my girls have to work and they fear me driving alone on a holiday weekend. I would have to come back that day as Jessica graduates from high school on Saturday. I will be their in my thoughts and my prayers go out to you both as you embark on yet another of life's journeys. With loving thoughts and prayers, Mickey
