Thoughts and prayers are with you, Yvonne and family. Thank you for sharing those wonderful stories of your amazing father at the memorial in New Port Richey, FL. I was so touched, I wish I could have met him. I'm planning on a hot fudge sundae on May 4th in his honor. You were so lucky and so was he to have such a wonderful son and daugher-in-law.
