You are never far from my thoughts dad. I especially miss you when I am out in nature. We go for walks from time to time at Blue Springs, which is where I remember you the most. I hope you felt the lovely words from Donna yesterday about Eric. We are all very proud of him, and his wife Ginnie and Lexi and Ben. Lexi recently achieved her black belt in Taekwondo, and Ben isn't far behind. Ben is a real slugger in baseball, and is in Cubs. He attended his first cub car rally recently, and had a lot of fun. Mikie also came out in support which made me very happy. You would be proud of all your daughters dad. Donna and her girls are continuing to overcome great pain in the passing of Pat, and talk about, and remember all the good times, as we do with you. If your spirit is out there, please take comfort in knowing you are remembered lovingly every day.
Love, your oldest,
Marilyn.
