Our moments spent together in life were brief and few. But I'll never forget the moment I met you, when you wrapped me in your giant bear hug. I will remember that you at our wedding in your bright purple Aloha shirt, cursing the humidity...but you were there. :-) I will remember the steak dinner with you, the homemade turkey you cooked for us, but most of all, I'll never forget the decades of love you showed my husband...in working hard to support and provide for him, in ensuring he had the tools and resources necessary in life to forge a beautiful path. One that will be forever imprinted by you, your sacrifices and your fatherly love. Thank you for providing Rich with a childhood home, clothing, food, for teaching him how to fix things, for getting him a car, for grounding him, for choosing sobriety for him and you other loved ones, for making him do chores, for getting him an RV to live in for college...for letting us visit, for the many hugs with love in your eyes for our son. You are forever appreciated, missed and loved. I can't wait to see you on the other side someday...and collect my second giant, bear hug. Much love...JFM
