So sorry, Trish and Mike and family. Sang for your mother and loved seeing your dad. He was such a sweetheart, both were. Because my own mother was ill at the time and problems with covid, I was unable to attend. I know they were so special to so many, and we will surely miss them both.
Patty and Mike sorry for you loss. Your dad was good man and it was a pleasure to have known him.
