deb, and mark I remember your dad casting a big shadow. maybe that's why we always listen to him with no back talk. but most amazing was to see he acted around your mom with loving care, and stars in his eyes. and that is why we hung around your mom all the time. i'm sure they are together once again with paul preparing the way for us all. love,and prayers to you both.
