Merry Christmas!!! Our December as you know was filled with lasting memories being made with dad his last few days and honoring him once he was gone. For those of you who were able to attend the funeral you were able to experience first hand the the love and support that surrounds my parents and our family. We are very blessed to have such wonderful family and amazing friends. Thank you to everyone for your kind words, phone calls, cards, flowers, and never ending love and support.
December is always a time to be spent with family and friends and many traditions, and we are so blessed to have them in abundant! The women in our family (who could attend ) enjoyed our annual day during the holidays, downtown having lunch and show at Bass Hall.
