Awww, Vicky, thank you so very much. . I am so proud that God has healed Daddy completely and made him happy. Knowing Momma and Daddy are together, gives me a lot of peace and comfort, that without knowing God in your heart, and compassion for others suffering, would be a lot harder to take in. I will miss him forever, in my heart.

I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad, Grandpa and friend. I knew Wayne and Wilma and the kids when I was just a boy growing up in Thayer. It was always a fun time being with this special family, so many happy memories. God bless all of you as you grieve.
