HAPPY FATHER'S DAY WEEKEND
Happy Father's day to all dads, grandpas and "father figures" this weekend.
There is no greater gift in life than being called "Dad".
I hope everyone has a wonderful Father's Day weekend.

REMEMBERING DADS THAT ARE NO LONGER WITH US
My dad made quite the impact on my life and continues to do so today in so many ways.
A Father means so many things…
An understanding heart,
A source of strength and of support
Right from the very start....
A constant readiness to help
In a kind and thoughtful way.
With encouragement and forgiveness
No matter what comes your way.
A special generosity and always affection, too
that will never be forgotten
