Debby,

I remember your dad walking in the side door of the house only to find me drinking a beer. As soon as Ron saw me he said "Hey Ginger how are you doing". I thought what a cool dad, not sure what he said to you. He was always nice to me and made me feel welcome. I'm sorry for your loss and pray that your heart is filled with funny and good memories of him. Your strength through this time is truly admirable.
