Today is Fathers Day Dad. I miss you so very much. Today I hold on to my treasured memories. The deep conversations we had. The laughs we shared along with past sorrows. I was so very lucky to share our deep relationship. You are now again my protector from above. A day will not go by that I will not think of you. Your long time friends have embraced me. As they loved you dearly as well. You touched so many lives. The memories shared by others. Has given me something to hold on to. My heart aches, but what I shared with you and what others shared has left your foot print embedded in my heart. You have blessed me forever for that I'm grateful.
Your loving daughter

I remember running into Ron and Rita in the coffee shop in Lapeer. It was always nice sitting down with them and enjoying a cup of coffee.

I always thought highly of Ron and Rita on running two successful businesses and wondered if I would have the courage to do something like.

God Bless, Todd
