Remembering CJ's Dad...

November 28, 1924 - January 4, 2009

"A precious one from us has gone, a voice we love is stilled... A place is vacant in our home, which can never be filled... And after a lonely heartache, and many a silent tear... Always a beautiful memory of one we loved so dear." -- Author Unknown
