This Sunday Eliza was telling me how much she misses her PaPa. I know how much the boys miss you and think of you and you are never far my thoughts. You were a wondeful father-in-law to Sarah and I'm sure she would be looking to, as always, for advice with her new endeavor.

Barry Josephson was a fabulous music man and he shared this gift with me in the CD complications he created and that I still treasure. I remember most his geneous kind heart, his broad, beaming smile when talking about his true love for Dixie and their family and friends. Love you Bar!
