Description
This is suppose to sybolize my mother and my Daughter, greeting my Dad.
This is how my Father wanted it. He did not want to go to a nursing home. He was 86 years and had a full life. Touch many people with his kindness, humor and wise words.
My sister and uncle were each holding his hand when he passed.
Yes I'm sad to lose him, but Happy he got his wishes on not ever going to a nursing home.
Thank all of you for your kind words to me.
It's so nice to know how many people care. (((((hugs)))))) to you all.
Leah
