The last link to my father's line of Laportes.
I am sure you came into the world singing and in your heart you went out the same way.
One day I will dust off the fiddle you gave dad. I see it every day as it stands beside your mother's piano.
What a blessing to have been raised in such a musical family. You left us the legacy of your voice.
You are greatly missed already.
Love

Always loved our visits to Florida, filled with laughter and bluegrass (and maybe a beverage or two), all made so special with Mike's "joie de vivre" and fiddle music. Sending my heartfelt condolences and huge hugs to Wendy, Mark and all their families.
