Your dad was a special friend to me during his stay at dial-alife. His caring nature and friendly smile I will never forget. his kind words, I will keep close to my heart. Unfortunately I was unable to visit him at Deer Lodge. He was often thought of in my prayers. My deepest sympathy goes to his children who were supportative during his illness. He is not suffering any more. He feels no pain. He's at a place where theres no sickness and he is reunited with his Leona. I say goodbye to you my friend, you will not be forgotten. - Posted by: Kim Edwards (Friend) on: Aug 28, 2005
