I remember meeting your Dad Penny many years ago- I remember how excited he was and you were to have him in CT meeting all your friends, and spending time with you and your family. You took such pride in knowing he was coming to stay with you, and he seemed so smitten with being able to spend time with you and the kids. I remember you taking walks, and him seeing the neighborhood you were raising Alyssa and Matt in...He was proud...and so were you...What a good heart you both had/have. I am so sorry for your loss...I am happy though I had the privilege of meeting your Dad, and knowing that he knew we would always be life long friends. God Bless you on this difficult journey of mourning your Dad. With love and sympathy- Gina
