Dear Deborah and family – Deborah, you often spoke so fondly of your family and especially of your parents. Your dad certainly must have provided a positive and loving home for you as a child, and continued with this caring into your adulthood. I know that you will treasure always your memories of last year’s visit to Italy with him. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Deb,
I am wishing you peace and courage as you and your family go through this difficult time. I will keep you in my prayers.
Rest in peace Swede, you will be missed
Sparky & Rose,
Our family’s thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Deb,
So very sorry for the loss of your dad. I know how much you have cherished and loved him in your life-he was such a positive and wonderful dad to you. This is evident in what kind of person you are.
I hope you find comfort as time passes.
Thinking of you and your family,
Marianne Melton
