Wow. Your dad was a hero. He gave and gave. And then the part about the jewelry business was a great twist! A dashing pilot with a softer artistic side. Just, neat. Thanks a lot for sharing that.

These must be very sad and difficult times for you and I send you warm wishes and hugs.

Hmmmm... Is that the Bluebonnet Hills in Colleyville? It's on the other side of town for me, but maybe I can make it to the visitation.

If not, know that my thoughts are with you and your family.

It is, Doohickie. We've been working on the arrangements. I have a bunch of brothers, and they're all here. Going through family photos and sharing stories has been an unexpected treat.
