Dad, I really can't believe you are gone. It still doesn't feel real. I am glad you have peace now. You will not have to suffer anymore. I will forever remember everything you did for me and I hope you knew how much you meant to me and the family. I know I now have an angel watching over me. Love you…..

I am so sorry to hear of Leland's (Duke's) passing. I saw him a few months back and he told me he had been sick. Duke was always a kind friend with lots of love in his heart. We knew each other for many yrs. He's with his Mom now and they are rejoicing in a peaceful place with no more sickness or pain. My Sympathy to all of the family. Pam Grondin Savoy
