Dear Dad,
I think about you all the time--when I see birds and squirrels in my back yard; when I see "Old Glory", as you always called it, flying high;
With Love,
Big D

Big D,

I am sorry for your loss. Please leave a link so I may contact you. My grandfather was Theodore "Teddy" (Merle's son).

I look forward to talking with you.

Dad, you raised me up to be more than I can be, and I was strong when I was on your shoulders. This is from a Josh Groban song that I love and I know you would like it too. I think about you when I hear this song and I can't say it any better than this.

Herta,



You will continue to be in our prayers, as we have been praying for you and Jack during his illness. I remember him as a kind person, especially whenever you helped me with the Angel Tree Project. He was always there to help as well. Take care, and let us know if we can help in any way.



Love,
