Linda, I was so sorry to read of your Dad’s death, I was going through old papers I didn’t get to read their obituaries and saw your Dad’s. I’m sure it’s been a very difficult time. I remember him with your Mom many years ago, when I attended the Newport KH, and he was very kind and loved your Mom. I hope the memories you cherish will be a comfort until reunited at a better time and healed of all infirmities. May Jehovah Bless you and your family. Charlene McCarthy (Singer, as you knew me).
