    Dear Laura, Donna, and Chris, I t seems like the years go by so quickly. I think it was only 6 month ago I saw you Dad at the golf course when I was there for a benefit. My prayers and thoughts are with you all. Your Dad embraced life to the fullest and I know he will be dearly missed.

    I regret I will be out of town in Columbia at the time of the service. Laura, I remember many years ago driving down with you to get your dorm room ready for college.

    Blessings and Love,

    Kristi and David Nichols
