Dad rest in peace
Rest well my friend in the arms of Jesus.
Hi Deb, I was sorry to read in the paper about your dad and just wanted to give my condolences. You were lucky to have your father such a long time. Mine has been gone for 16 years. He was my best friend. You and I went to school together in Federal Way. Gloria Gove Barnes at globar@comcast.net
