Your father was a super nice person that always showed the grace and dignity that a parent should have. I know that he was always proud of his kids and loved his home in New Mexico. People, like Ed Mitchell, rarely come around and it was our blessing to have him touch our lives. He will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayer are with you, his family.
