Pamela, Darrell and Kathleen - Thinking of you all with a heavy heart... I know how much your Dad/Grandpa meant to you. I'm sure he greatly appreciated your love and support over the years, but especially the last months and days of his life. You were always there for him and I'm sure he is at peace knowing that you will always be there for his "love", your Mom/Grandma. Please take care of yourselves and be there for each other as he would have wanted that for you. I am sorry he was taken so soon, but glad he is no longer suffering. Cherish your memories and know that he will always be there with you in spirit. Please know that I am always here for you. Love and Hugs to your entire family, Lory, Mike and Lyndsey xo
