February 25, 2015 at 7:27 amMatt, We were sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. We never got to talk to him very much but he always waved or honked at us when he saw us outside when we lived on HH. I hope your fond memory’s of him will help you heal and ease your pain in your heart and mind as time passes. Death is a heartache no one can heal and Love is a memory no one can steal from us.
Sincerely, Larry and Peggy Perkins
