I just remember Tammy being the apple and he being her voice of reason when we were growing up. A gentle man who worked hard as the main provider for their family. I wish you peace Tammy. Peace knowing how much your dad loved and treasured you. Peace in the memories you created with him in recent years that will be in your heart forever. Love you girl! Sandy
