Christine and Christopher We are so sorry for the loss of your dad. You two had one of the BEST dads in the whole world. I know you already know that. God must have needed one of the GOOD ones. We all will miss him. Knowing he is with Jesus will bring us great comfort. We love you both, Aunt Portia and Uncle Mike.
