JOYCE ROBBINS (Rockwood, TN)

Linda--I was sorry to learn of your dad's passing. When someone goes that I have known most all of my life, I feel as if a piece of childhood is lost. So long as you hold his memory in your heart, your dad will always be with you. Please accept my sincerest sympathy to you and all  your sister's and rest of the family. Take care--catch you at the w.m. or sonic drive-in.
