Dear Julie, Michael and Family
The neighborhood will never be silent as long as your Dads whistle is calling us to dinner or reminding us to go out on mail runs or to go to a baseball game. Our childhood is never far from my heart. May God Bless you and keep you

Hold on to what is good even if it is a handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe even if it is a tree which stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do even if it is a long way from here.
Hold on to my hand even when I have gone away from you. ❤
