I am sorry I missed your mother's funeral
I know your were blessed with Godly parents
Mine passed away 1967 and 1993
We have a lot of good memories to hang onto
Godly parents are not always in a home
Hank calls me and says I am thankful you taught me where to put my priorites
Looking from the outside they where the best
God, bless your family
