Dear Donna,
I was so sorry to hear about your Dad. I've never had the pleasure of meeting him, but if you got your spitfire personality from him, he must have been a great man. I will keep you and Tyler in my prayers. February will forever be a tough month for you.

I hadn't seen Ollie since High School and tried to locate him but couldn't. Someone told me he had Cancer of the Lung and died. This was in the 70's.
He was a great basketball player.

"Ollie", you were the best guard on our SPC basketball team. If we had had that 3 point ring back in our day, you would have been hitting those then, also !!
May your children & grand-children and MAYBE EVEN great-grand children remember you had a great eye for the hoop ! Many times I tried to catch up with you, over the years, but I was never able to find you.
I'll be praying for you & your family. Pray for me from up there with GOD. I'll hopefully see you again, and likely sooner than later.
I enjoyed living with you at SPC.

God hears a little girl's dream of having a dad one day. Finally the Lord sent his angels to deliver you into my life and for over 34 years my dream has been a blessing with you in it as my dad, a paw-paw & a great paw-paw to all of us. Thank you
Now the angels have come to take you home, to be in peace. So in peace I leave you, with all my love & memories forever.
I Love You Dad.
