Saying Goodbye




This photo says everything about my Dad.  The last few years of his life were not easy, but he did everything with strength and grace as the caregiver for my Mom who is in late stage Alzheimer’s.  When my daughter told him about her upcoming marriage, he said all he wanted was to dance with her at the wedding. And he did.

He fought to be there and be an example for his family.  He lived his marriage vows.  We will miss him greatly.

    I am sorry for the loss of your father.
    A father is a daughters first hero.
    My father was my hero until the day he passed almost 2 yrs ago.
    Your father helped make you the woman that you are and he will always be a part of you. Blessings to you and your family at this time.
