I sit here with a tear in each eye, one for laughter and 1 for sadness. So sad you had to go, and so sad for your many family and friends who ache tremendously without you. For you have been the patriarch of your family, someone people respected, looked up to, and turned to for guidance. A piece of everyones heart is missing- including mine. I only met you once, but that was a lasting impression. Nothing reminded me more of my own father, than the effort you put into your family. Jo's wedding was beyond memorable, but even more so for how many times I laughed in one night. Now it's your turn to see the old, and meet some new. Begin your new life with part of your past... Your passion for family. For one day you will all be joined once again. ❤
