Dear Rick, Elaine and family, I wanted so badly to be there with you today for your dad's funeral. He was the best uncle and Godfather that anyone could have. I am so glad that I was able to visit with him a few weeks ago at the nursing home. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. All my Love, Lois

And He will raise you up, on Eagles Wings, Bear you on the breath of God, Make you to shine like the Son! AND HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HANDS.
God Bless You, Rick, Eliaine, Carl and Edie!
