Dad,
You taught me about Jesus. You taught me about honesty. You taught me about being proud, but not having too much pride. You taught me to be "my brother's keeper." You taught me to laugh, but most of all you taught me to love. I love you,

Life is so short and time passes too quickly. 35 years ago we were next-door neighbors.

Dear Dad,
When I was little you called me "China Doll." That was your way of making me feel special. I'm so glad Terry got to know you and have you in his life. We will miss you. Rest in Peace. I love you, Linda
