My prayers to the entire family. Although it has been many years since Marcia elementary and high school and hanging at your house I always remember him as a kind and good person.

Dad, you were the best father I could ever wish for. You were a wonderful husband, grandfather and great grandfather. There is so much love and admiration amongst us all! I am so broken hearted that you have left, but happy knowing you are pain free and back with Mom, the love of your life. Until we see each other again know that I love you more than words can express!
