Rest In Peace My Father
I am so sorry for your loss. What a great man and loving husband. Shari, I think of you two everytime I see a “seatbelt purse.” You are in my prayers.
I hope that you are no longer in pain and you rest in peace. We will all always love you as our father and hopefully it brings all of your children together.
