Hi Kaylynn, I was saddened to hear about the loss of your dad. I had met him but didn't know him like I knew your mom. Having lost both my parents I know how difficult it is but my prayer is your joy will soon return. I have often thought of you and wondered how you are doing. Bob and I are still living in Tennessee. We have 8 gr.kids, the oldest is in college. We're really old!!! I'd love to hear from you and be updated on your life. Blessings, Judy
