Kevin, I know too well how you must feel about the loss of your Dad. He will be in my prayers. Dick Boland

Even when we knew the time was close for our fathers to pass, it didnt make it any easier on us when they do. But, Im thinking he has already said hello to Jake. My thoughts are with you as all of yours were with us when our father died. Randy
