This is a picture of Dad when he enlisted in the Navy.
In many ways I was more like mom than a big sister when we were young. Our parents both worked and left me in charge. It's not supposed to happen this way, at least in our minds. It seems that God has other plans for the rest of us, Matt and Jeanne.
I pray he is at rest and enjoying seeing family members again. So, Mike, until I join you rest comfortable and enjoy all the glory of heaven.
Love ya so much
