When first meeting pop's through my husband Adrain, we had an instant connection. I remember telling pop's how adrain looked like him, he replyed "really"? and I said "yes". Well we sat and got to know each other and by the time to go I told him "I like you"! He said "I love you to". To have him say that at our first meeting each other, really touched me. I will miss his kisses and those wonderful hugs to had giving me. Pos's I love you always.

I miss you already Dad. I know, all who knew you are celebrating your life not mourning your death. You touched so many lives with your blunt remarks. The truth hurts and you weren't afraid to let someone know how you felt. I'm glad you were able to go, knowing that you did a great job on raising us. You made me a strong person. You are loved Dad!
