Tracy says
It is hard to believe both of them are gone in a months time- Too me it is a true testament of the love and special bond they shared. May your love for each other be even stronger in heaven- I was so blessed to have this man (dad) in my life for over 35 years- Love you to the moon and back- until we meet again- make sure there is ice in your korbel and that no one messes with Wheel of Fortune”! Truly blessed to have had you be by my side as well-
