I was always teased about looking like my Uncle Norman, my Mom's brother, more than my dad.
Until I went to boot camp, and they shaved my head, then I looked just like him!
That was one letter from Parris Island they had a good laugh over! :)
Gonna be a Dixieland Funeral I guess, his death to me is a relief, my Mom spent her last 5 years washing his clothes, visiting, feeding him, caring for him, even while he was in the home, she was there every day.
Thanks for writing!
My Prayers are for my Mom, she sat with him every day, she went through so much caring for him.
She is 80 this year herself. We are going to buy her a riding lawn mower for her birthday! Time to stop pushing that old pusher around!
That's a nice picture, thanks!
Good to hear from you, thanks!

My condolences Race. I am thankful every day to have the relationship I do with my dad. I know that it doesn't last forever. I hope you are OK.
I feel for you, it is a slow thing to watch.
Keep them talking if you can, they do respond sometimes clearly, even in the end.
We'll keep you and your family, Race, in our prayers.
Special prayers for your mom and for the rest of your family, Race.
Semper Fi Marine, we'll have a Sailor playing taps for him at the church
Hey Race, I'm real sorry for your loss. I pray your dad is safe in heaven and that you and the rest of your family will find comfort in God and each other during this tough time.
