The family wishes to extend their gratitude to friends and family for their love and support during the past year. God took the strength of a mountain, the majesty of a tree, the calm of a quiet sea, the comforting arm of night, the depth of a family need, then God combined these qualities. He knew His masterpiece was complete and so, He called it…."DAD!"
