Donna and family I am so sorry for your loss. I remember your dad and mom most at the monthly dances our dance club held. Your dad was so full of life and your mom and dad seem to have so much fun. My husband Jimmy used to tell me he thought your dad was a really great man. He enjoy talking and joking with him. Maybe they'll play a little golf together in heaven. May he rest in peace with your mother.
