Michael, Bill, and Ted -
I'm sorry for your loss. Thinking about your dad reminds of our earlier days; I probably spent as much time in your house as in my own back then! I also remember going to LBK with Michael and your dad one New Years Eve. You are all in my prayers - remember you are not alone.

Ted,
Although our loved ones are out of sight
They are never out of mind,
For they are cherished in the hearts
Of the ones they left behind.
