Margaret, thank you for your kind words and for being a part of my dad's life. I want you to know that I tried to find a phone number for you so I could call and tell you personally of his passing, I'm sorry the one I tried was not correct and I got caught up in all the other things that needed doing. I apologize you had to find out this way. You were in my thoughts. And I hope you see this.
