My dad also died. He was but 57 years old then. I still miss him. You’ll miss your dad too.

Of interest is eternal life’s ongoing discovery process, shadowing us still here like a gifted patchwork quilt from all who came before.

Both our families left Holtwood, but not before you & Kathy became part of our hearts. My hope is to see you again this side of Heaven, my friend.

Our love to you and your family with sympathy at this time…
