22 May 2001 In loving memory of the father of my only son. You are forever in my heart, never far from my thoughts. Need only to see our handsome son to know that I will ALWAYS have a part of you in him. Although many years have faded into the past, the love I have for you still burns within my soul... Vaya con Dios My Love Until we meet again Linda Grubelnik mymeme@sisna.com
