Kim and Dana and family, your father lead a great life and enjoyed his time here. Knowing he is back with the love of his life gives the family much comfort. He was one of a kind for sure and that was someone who along with Gail were so kind and helpful when my sister Penny was so ill. Always both asking what more they could do. Hope there are slots up there for them!
