Hey, Pop, a year has come and gone since you left this old tired earth. We are holding our own but there are those times I go to pick up the phone to call and remember you are no longer here. Most of our conversations rambled on some mighty crazy paths and always somehow we would come back to the beginning of the call. Too funny! I am so glad you are no longer in physical pain and are at rest. Thanks to you and mom for taking care of us the best way you knew how.
