~ Love You 4 ~

by Tina~in_ut

A couple of years ago, I tried to turn Jodi's dad into a Catholic.  He was cute about it.  He said that the Papal robes were too large, too much.  I thought he had a great sense of humor.  I wrote him a long e-mail trying to convince him to convert.  I know I was close, but no cigar~

How do you tell someone like Jodi how much you wish you could be there for her?  Jodi......the one who is always there with a song, a call, a smile, a laugh.....whatever you need.  We talked after the wake and luckily she sounded good. 

She told me about some of her dad's sayings, "Don-isms" which will be part of the eulogy:

"a fartin' horse will never tire, a fartin' man's the man to hire"

When talking about how thin he was:
"well a good rooster never gets fat"

When Jodi would say, "You have a good day, Dad!"
"they're all good"

Jodi, your dad is now with your mom and brother, dancing and laughing.  Please know that although most of us cannot be there in person, we are thinking of you and praying for you and your entire family today.

Love you 4~
