Debbie,I am grateful for having known both your mom and dad. They were just
so much fun. I will remember, with great joy, the time I was given with them.
I loved them both very much and somehow I don't feel sad. I feel happy that
they are together, healthy and happy. I loved your dad even when he would say
"get outta here Floyd". Love to you, Patty, and R.J.
