Dear Dad,
You were an amazing Father. Your military service to our country is much appreciated. You were a true "Watrous" always guiding us to be the very best we could be. I dedicate my volunteerism to NSDAR VAVS in your honor.
So sorry, we didn't make it on the June 1, 2019 RI Honor Flight to Washington, DC.
I miss so very much talking with you but I know your in a better place always watching down on all of US kids. Love you forever, Barbi
