To my Mindy and her family,
I'm so sorry for what you all are going through. I remember when we were teenagers riding in the back of the trailer with Amy, Angie, and Little Ryan. I think it was Easter. We spent the day at a big farm house in Kansas somewhere?Your Dad had his own sayings that would make us all laugh and smile. Just know his spirit is free now.

Bunched of Love,
Tonya and Family
