My dad loved $100 bills when I came home on Christmas & Fathers Dad I gave him a $100 bill .  He saved them when he died we spent the $100 bills on meals in his honor.  Bob and I saw your grave stone along with moms last month.  I miss you dad

I came  home for Bobs 73rd birthday 
I brought mom’s ashes you are on the other side. Miss you and mom not the same coming home and going to the movies that mom walked out of because of the content and bad language and of course the restaurants. I rented a mustang convertible.  Remember my 65 Mustang . You helped buy in 1966
