Dear Debbie, David & family,
Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Your father was such a kind and sweet soul. I remember when we were teenagers and we were sitting in the living room and your dad said ‘Come on Betty, let's show these kids how to do The Hop' and the two of them started to dance! I am praying for you and your family during this very difficult time.
Love,

We were sad to hear the news. I already miss looking out the window seeing you in the backyard, meeting out side with the kids and always seeing you with a smile on your face.
I'll always remember you giving me heck for getting Gracie's ears pierced. " if she was meant to have holes in ears they would have been there already!"
The new nickname you gave to Dante will stick forever! We always have to keep an eye on Houdini now!
Thank you for always making us smile!
Until we meet again,
Candice, Paul, Gracie, Houdini, and Izzy
