We are so sorry for the loss of your dad, and brother. He is now at peace but still telling stories. Comments I have hears since he passed are so Don. He and Betty both bought tickets for the same train to heaven. It is ironic that they bought went the same day. The picture of them walking hand in and hand on the path to heaven. God needed a bowler to fill a team and called on Aunt Betty. Thing were slow n heaven and they needed a real story teller in heaven. Bless you and our thoughts are with you all.
