Angie, Pete, John and all of the others,



You know that over the past couple of years I have become very close to your father because of my mother. It will be hard to not go over there and have your Dad make ornery little comments. I used to ask him all the time what he put in his Wheaties that day. I will miss calling on the phone and having him play Jesus Loves Me on the computer. I used to tell him all the time, I know Jesus loves me, but he likes you best, Right? That always made him laugh and he would say I think he likes us all the same. It will be a hard adjustment for all who knew him. He is in a better place now, and he went the way he wanted to. We will miss him.
