Peggy and Judy,
I am so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. There are so many memories of us sitting in the basement helping him with tobacco every year. And all the crazy stuff we girls got into....wow how time flies. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time and if you need anything, just let me know.
