Every time I log in and read new posts I break down in fresh sobs. They are mixed with sadness of missing my dad and joy in seeing how he touched others. Again, to everyone who has donated, a million times over thank you! We, literally, could not have done any of this without the loving support and donations from all of you. It has been so very expensive and my brother and I have sat and marveled at how you all have blessed us. We have been able to take care of his remains, hold his memorial, buy a gorgeous urn and plaque for him all through the help of your donations! We have so many expenses we did not forsee so your genorosity is so appreciated. I have received many emails, cards, condolences---I am beyond touched. I do not have the words to express my thank you. You have allowed us the freedom to grieve our dad who we miss terribly. This is going to be the hardest Christmas for me. I was driving a couple days ago and a song called "I wonder what Christmas in Heaven is like" and I lost it. I pulled over on the side of the road and could barely pull myself together. I will miss him forever.

Thank you Wayne for your generous offer as well. We still have outstanding expenses and hospital bills so trust me when I say, we are so grateful! Thank you everyone! For those of you that have called and emailed, I will be returning those soon. I just have not had time to sit down and do that yet but I will, I promise!
