Sending wishes of peace and comfort to you and your family on the loss of your Father. Reading about him reminded me of mine who was also born in '32 and served in the Korean war.

Take care ✌️

So sorry for your loss Colleen. I lost my Dad suddenly and unexpectedly right after Christmas in 2024, and miss him more than I can say. Sending you and your family lots of love, light and prayers. 🙏🏻❤️‍🩹🫶🏻
