Dad, Thanks for the great times we had at Alondra. It was a tremendous time for me. Enjoyed playing golf with you. Enjoy your going home to be at rest with your Lord. Love, Your Son John C.
Dearest Pop, I think of you so often. You keep dropping by my mind. I think of you at the oddest times and in the strangest places. How good it feels to be constantly surprised by beautiful thoughts of you. Love, Mouse
A Man named Papa, Although I didn\’t know you in this life as well as I should\’ve, I still have memories fresh in my mind of a man named Papa. I have a sense of loss, but also a warm feeling of joy, that I will see you again one day and give you a hug and call you “My Papa Angel”
