Dear Janice and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Your father was an amazing man with such a great attitude and knowledge which he often shared freely. He was very dedicated to your mother especially as her disease progressed. I meet him through "Just Greenware" and appreciated the friendship we developed. I often wondered how he was doing after your mother died. I know now that he is at peace and we have the joy of knowing we will see him in the resurrection. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Fondly, Diane Carroll
