Dad I love you very much. As a child being adopted from Bogota, Colombia, I am very grateful to my parents for giving my sister Susan, brother Michael and myself a better life in the United States.
I feel privileged that I was able to take care of you and be with you.
I cherish the moments we spent fishing together as a family.
You'll always be in my heart, my thoughts and prayers will be always with you.
I know you're happy now that your in heaven with mom.

Our prayers and thoughts are with the two of you. My daughter and I understand
your lost as she too just lost her father. Our hearts feel the hurt that you feel also. Just remember your father is now free of the pain he had and that he's with your mother. Heaven lets the soul be free of all pain and worry, only peace and happiness are allowed. Please know if there's anything we can do for you, please don't hesitate to ask.

I want to send my deepest condolences to the family. Unfortunately I did not know "Mick", but he was my first cousin once removed. My grandfather John Arthur Snyder and Durward Sr. were brothers. It is sad that a lot of us "cousins" never met.
I no longer live in Iowa other wise I would be at the funeral just to meet family members. My brother Alan worked with Mick at Meredith.
Sorry for your loss!
