Condolences
so long to the great white hunter....
I am in mourning for a guiet and noble man, father, grandfather, and friend. He gave me this name and I hold onto it proudly. He had the best stories to tell after a hunting adventure with his bow. Sitting on the stoop, listening to his tales of 'the big one got away' was always a highlight of my winter visits to Trish and Dennis' house. Here's to you Ed! May the deer be plentiful and your arrows always sharp!
Yes, we had some great times
Yes, we had some great times with Dad. You called one day and he couldn't remember you name so he called you Geraldine. He knew your name ended in and "ine." You will be forever known as Geraldine even though your real name is Pauline! Patty
sharing the grief of loosing a father
Dear Patty and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my father on Tuesday too and I miss him so much already ... as I am sure you are missing your father.
Your father was always so pleasant and friendly. Always had a smile on his face that got even bigger when he "caught me up" on your life....
We were blessed with two wonderful fathers that will be watching over us from heaven.
Love you
Valerie

OMG, you lost your Father on the same day? This year? Really the same day? You don't know how many times I've wanted to stop by and see you! I actually pulled in a couple of times but you were not there. Val, my heart is so broken I can't even believe it. We were Daddy's little girls. Here's my email address [email protected]. Please right me back.
