Aimee, Angela and Andrea and your families, we are so saddened to hear of your father's passing. We spent a lot time together when you girls were younger. One of the best vacations we had was in the Ozarks with your family.
We share a lot of good times with your dad and mom. Love and prayers to you all. Mark and Judy Cummings.
