Brian, your dad’s obituary tells the story of a thoughtful, caring, hard-working man and loving father … the kind of man and father you’ll be one day. Praying for you and your family. And as for Missy, she reminds me of an old Tammy Wyatt song … Stand By Your Man. Love you both, prayers and love to your mom and family.
