Dad,
You always received me and my son with open arms. Thank you for the great memories at the casinos in Vegas, the fun time in California, and
most of all going to the bingo. I will treasure them forever. Enjoy your time with your sweetheart now that you are together again. My love to you sis. Take care and God bless you. Boogie
