Dave, You have the same talents your Dad had, your Dad remains in all that you do….. Your whole family was there today, to lovingly support you and each other….. a real blessing for something that should occur naturally with in a family….. it was nice to see this. I know today was tough, the reality of the last time to see your Dad, to bid him farewell, and picture the reunion of him with your mom, and brother, Sam….. We can not see this, he has moved on, and he was greeted on the other side. You, Judy, your family……. and all who loved Bill, will be in my thoughts, as you face new “ground”. Love, Karen & Chuck
