Hi, I just wanted to tell you all that you are in my prayers. I'm so sorry the weather is bad and is keeping us from coming to be with you. I have many good memories of your dad, and love the stories my mom tells about him. We were looking at pictures awhile back, and everytime one of your dad came up,she would say " look at my strong handsome brother". Please take care of each other, and I really hope it works to get together this summer.
Love you all!
