Always wanted to go back to see your Mom and Dad and now regret I did not. In the few short visits with him, I saw what a real Dad was like. He was the first to demonstrate to me that one was entitled to lead a much more abundant life than I thought was possible.
My deepest sympathies to you and your Mom at this time of loss. Your Dad is someone I will never forget.

Brad, I am very sorry about the loss of your dad. He must have been quite a man. 74 years is remarkable time for a marriage. We should all be so blessed. Please take care. Your family is in our prayers.
