Jeanna and Family,
I'm so sorry about your dad. He was awesome. I remember when you were learning to drive and he was in the seat next to you. We went to DQ and you were trying to turn with one hand and drink your malt with the other. OMG your dad was trying to grab your malt saying, "I don't think you are ready to drive with one hand" It was pretty funny and I remember his laugh!
I will pray for peace and strength for you and your family.

Dear Jeanna and Family:
I am so sorry that you lost your dad. Jeanna, I have one particular memory (although, I remember his sense of humor and how he delighted in you and the friends you brought home to meet him). I was spending the night at your house and we were in the living room giggling and doing what 16 year old girls do. Your dad was so nice - he came downstairs in his PJs and robe, and sat down with us for about 15 minutes asking us what was so funny and joking with us about the boys we were giggling about! Then he told us not to stay up too late. I remember his warm, caring smile and I just knew how much he loved you. I hope you find some comfort in this memory of mine, and know that my thoughts and prayers are with you as you grieve.
Love,
