Sharon, words can not express my sympathy of your Dad's passing, he was a great guy always willing to chat with anyone as they were passing by after he got done cutting the grass, the days of working our annual church picnic year after year, the care he helped you with taking care of your Mom the last few years, I was so happy when I moved next to you knowing what great neighbors I would now have, fly high Tom and always watch over us forever
