Happy Birthday Dad!

I sure love these two people. They were great examples to me. They had many trials and challenges in this life and they got through them in spite of it all. They showed great faith and perseverance. They were very selfless and would do anything for anyone. We often had people come by, and Mom would fix them a plate of food. We went with Dad on his runs with food to share with those in need. I was the recipient myself - when we were low on cash and out of work. Dad would show up with a bag of groceries and a $20 bill to put gas in the car. I took piano and organ lessons from a sweet lady in Herriman and she didn't have the money to pay her property taxes that year. She asked if I could help out, and I couldn't, but my Dad was able to. A complete stranger to him - but a fellow sojourner trying to survive financially. They also fed our sweet Aunt that lived next door and did all they could to help her. That's what it is all about - serving and loving others. Thanks Mom and Dad! I love and miss you!
