You were my meant-to-be Father-in-law. I admired your faith and devotion to the Lord and your family. You loved us all and you made sure we knew it. You taught me the meaning of Allegria, I appreciate you for that and so much more. Whenever I start to feel down I will stop and hear you say "Aaahh Yes, Life is Good!
