Not every father gets the honour of dying for family and country, and a General at that!. Great tribute dear Nette, sorry for your loss . Tiaua

The greatest honour any father could earn would be the love of his children and your father clearly has that still . A beautiful tribute nette.

Dear Nette: A very lovely tribute. This is for you: "Smiles you remember, Fond touch embracing; Love now engenders, Smiles everlasting!" Our hurts heal with passing time but love is forever. Take comfort in love and light. Leon
