PaPa, it's been 7 years without you on this earth. We've missed you terribly. Some of the things going on right now you would have been very vocal on and we would have been so worried and so protective of you during this Covid virus, so because of that, I'm so grateful you and my mom and dad and my brother are not on this earth having to deal with it. I look forward to seeing all of you one day when we all are reunited. All my love, Sandra

Susan...sorry it has taken me so long to send my love and condolences to you, Brittanie, Aunt Brenda and the rest of the family. It was like going through everything with daddy all over again...and you are right, now both of them are together, laughing and pulling pranks...Daddy was probably waiting on him at the pearly gates. .Susan, I am not going to say that the road ahead is going to less painful, but it will get a little easier and memories will become comforting. When we are so close to our daddiies, I believe it is harder on their " little" girls. Cherish how much your daddy loves you and his Brittanie and knowing that will give you comfort beyond belief. I love you all very much and will cherish my time with papa and him sharing Brittanie with me. I love you all...Sandra Hoff
