Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all fathers, grandfathers, and others who serve as a father-figure!

My own dad passed away several years ago, and he was a true blessing to my siblings and me (although we may not have always thought so). May he rest in peace.

I also ask special Father's Day blessings on sons Tommy and Adam and on son-in-law Chris and, on Myrna's side, sons-in-law Will, Dennis, and Chris. In addition, I ask special Father's Day blessings for our siblings and in-laws.
