Love and hugs to all of you. Your dad loved you all SO much, he was always bragging on each of you. And Teri, the love and concern he showed for you when you were down, well, it's immeasurable. He loved you dearly. I wish we hadn't let 30 years pass us by without visiting. I wish.. so many things. I'm still gonna get down there one day so Matt can meet all of you, and I and I can get to know Steve better through each of you.
