I usually don't get too personal, but...

my 90 year old father passed away last night...what a remarkable man he was...correction, IS!

"To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die"

I love you Daddy...you will always be in my heart!

I never met him and I can tell just by this picture that he is full of love. And to have raised a daughter like you, Kathy Jo, is a testament to what a wonderful father he is. You're in our thoughts and prayers. I love you.
