He was the best father in law a person could ask for. I Never forget the fishing trip we took you on for Father’s day when you were the only one who got a fish and I heard about that fish all the way home. Or the many auctions we attended so you could buy fishing reels or that one clock you had have. I know your in heaven chasing that one big fish until we meet again. You will be missed by so many my heart is breaking for Julie and Virginia.
I pray the emotional rollercoaster you are on slows down. This time in life is so very hard. My heart breaks for all the family. Know that God is walking beside you.
