We want to thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers, texts and phone calls during dad’s last few years while on this earth and the days after he was called home. He was always glad to have company even when he didn’t really feel up to it. Also many thanks to those who sent the beautiful flowers and the people who cooked food and helped with the meal after the services. A special thanks to Legacy Hospice for their great staff and for McNabb Funeral Home for their outstanding service. You all will always be remembered.
