Cindy, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your father. I have so many wonderful childhood memories of all of us swimming in the pool and hanging out at your parent's home. We were all so grateful to your dad for helping our dad when he fell in the neighborhood. Thinking about your entire family and praying for all of you. God Bless.

Pete, so sorry to hear about your dad. Mr. Joe was a "charater" to work for. We have lost so many of the "sewing room " family now. My prayers are with you and your family.
