    Garland and Gini, my condolences to you and your family, it's a loss when you loose a parent but be sure your memories with your dad will never leave you. In reading Larrys obituary it appears he was having some health problems; this helps one prepare but it's still very hard when it happens. I went through the same thing last year at this time so I know what you're going through. Donna and I wish you and your family the very best; our thought's and prayers are with all of you.
