My thoughts are with you all. I wasn't around much, but when I was he was always so kind. I remember visits to their house & breakfast at the Buffet place in Baytown with Skyler & his parents. Sending Hugs and positive thoughts to everyone. ♡

So sorry for your families loss. My family recently lost the patriarch, the man who raised us, the man who worked hard to provide for us and make us the people we are today. It's hard to say goodbye but know that he is looking down with great pride because he is responsible for a great group of people that I am happy to call friends.
With love,
Jack Sorenson and family.

My father-in-law was generous and a wonderful caregiver. He has taken care of Mom for the last several years. It leaves her so lost and unsure of herself. I know he will be her angel. Love you Dad!
