Dear Irene:
So nice to hear from you. I will send instructions later on how to sign up for a forum account. I just got an email from your dear father and sent off a reply a couple minutes ago.
Thank you for your kind words. It is so easy to love your dad. He is one of the sweetest people I have ever met and it's so easy to be a friend. I happen to think the world of him, and so do many others here on our forum. We consider him family and he will always have a place on our forum and in our hearts.
I of course am so saddened my the loss of your step-mother. I wish I could have known her for a much longer time. Our friendship was much too short. I always looked forward to talking with she and Rocky. It left me with a real joy in my heart. You could always feel the love through the phone lines.
God bless you and yours. I hope we shall become friends too. As I said to your father, the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. If you are anything like your father... And it sounds like you are.
