Audrey, Mom and Andrea, lots of love,prayers and strength sent your way during this difficult time. Love you ladies.
I’ll always remember the amazing memories with Dad.. our game nights playing scrabble, watching the Golden girls, Garbology lessons and horror movie watching. He had a laugh that always made you smile. Fly high Dad and spread your laughter and happiness in Heaven. You will be missed. Rest in much needed peace now.
