Sandy, This is Patsy. For some reason I just looked at the obituaries in the newspaper and saw your dad's. He was such a wonderful example of a good husband and father. Something I really appreciated in my youth. Observing his many fine character traits was a blessing to me. He was a really good person.
Love to you all, Patsy.
