    Julie I am so very sorry to hear about your dad’s passing. He was such a great guy with the best sense of humor. My memories will always be of our families spending time together when we were younger. I still go through some of my baby pictures and his name on all of them. Pictures of he and your mom being Best Man and Maid of Honor when my parents got married. So many memories to list. God bless you Julie and your family.. May you find some peace during this time.
