Maureen,
When I think of your Dad, I just smile and think of all the good times hanging out at your house growing up and your Dad always there with a warm welcome and just so kind to me.
What a wonderful example he set as a father. His family and his faith in God were everything to him. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
