Chris Maureen Tommy Poot I'm so sad to hear about your dad I wish the miles and years had'nt put the distance between us but in my mind and heart you all are still like brothers and sisters. your mom and dad were my angels that saved me by taking me into your home twice as a young boy and their love transformed me into a better person because of their big hearts.Your dads wonderful laugh ,smile and sense of humor was so contagious.i was so pleased to hear him call me beaver bivor bovering ,or when he called me truck I loved him so much and i was always jealous because i wanted him to be my real dad and when my parents took me away from you guys a huge part of my heart was lost they raised you all so well and just hearing and talking to the girls is such evidence..It's never easy losing someone especially our parents .you can't replace that type of love but the Lord has blessed us all with their good memories and now its time for them to receive their reward for living such a hard battle and loving so great we will see them again and what a great day that will be so until then we do our best to live up to the standards that they fought so hard to set for us good footsteps to walk in I love you guys so much and my heart and prayers are with you My phone #909 838 3176 if you ever need me or want to talk
