To my family, may the Lord God continue to be a pillow of strength for all of you, and in the coming days continue to bless you with all good memories of you spouse, father, brother, uncle, and friend. He had his last dance with us on his 80th birthday. We none knew that would be the last dance with him, but now he'll have his eternal dance with the Master. We love you cousin, and we will meet you again.
Love, cousin Paula
