Arby, Jodi, Brenda and family. So sorry to hear of the loss of your father. We can't make the visitation as we are in Florida for the winter, but wanted to let you know we are thinking of you and send our deepest condolences. Tim and I have been through this and understand how difficult it is to lose a loved one no matter how long they have been with us. Glad to know he is with Jesus. Diane
