I am so sorry to hear of the death of your Father. He was such a loving and caring person. When I worked with your Mom Garden state farm I would always stop at your house and when your Dad was at home he always had a warm welcome and smile when I came to visit. My prayers are with you at this time.
Maria Masterson Hoagland.
