Hi sweet Dionne, it's hard to believe it is so many years. I'm old enough to remember what a great man he was & what a terrible loss he was to this world of ours. Makes you wonder, what if he had lived....
BTW, those boys of yours are getting bigger every day (lol). And more handsome. Take care, sweetie.
Hugs, Coll :-}
