Tommy, Linda, and Diana,
The last time I saw your dad was when my grandma (Mary Harris) died in 1998. He was then, as I always remembered him to be, kind, friendly, and just a wonderful man. I know it is hard to lose your parent, but he is with God and looking out for all of you. God bless you all. Julie Abell Ramsey
