    Barb,
    You are a wonderful daughter that put your Dad before everything else for the last 14 months. I know that he knows what you’ve done and loves you so much.

    Hi dad, I want you to know that I am so proud to have been your daughter. We don’t pick our family, God does and I am so grateful to Him for you. I love you very much. As you told me when I was 15, “Yours till the ocean wears rubber pants to keep it’s bottom dry.”
    Your daughter always,
    Leenie

    Barbara,

    I’m very sorry about you losing your dad just when you finally got him back here. You were a good daughter to him and he knew he could count on you to be there for him. Just keep in mind you gave him happiness and peace with or without his memory, you were there. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

    Sis,

    I am so thankful that you got to spend time with your dad before he passed away. I know you will miss him, he has been a large part of your life this past year. The Lord blessed you both, with each other.

    Barb – You have been so strong and brave – I can just picture you driving across the country with your dad in the moving van! I am sorry for your loss and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

    Debby

    As his blood granddaughter I would like to know why I am just finding out this news 2years later. I grew up around him my entire life and when he got to where he couldn’t travel anymore I hear nothing.
