I am your dad‘s first cousin and I am nine years younger than him, and when I was little, he used to scare me because of his deep voice. But as I grew older, I realized he was a lot of fun. He’d liked to tease, and he was easy to talk with and could tell some really great stories.
I remember when aunt Gloria, your dad’s mother sent your aunt Joyce and I with Ed your dad on a date when he went to pick up your mom Judy. He drove us to Neville Island to pick up Judy your mom (where your mom used to live before she married your dad) and we went to a street dance and had lots of fun that night.
I think we were chaperones, but we just did not even know it, but we had lots of fun.
When your mom and dad were dating, they used to come out to my mom and dad‘s house on a date and sit and talk with my mom and dad and play games. When I think of it now that was pretty special. Your mom and dad were a beautiful couple they were made for each other. And now they’re together again.
You were in my prayers and thoughts
