We are so sorry to learn of your dad's passing. But, at the same time, we're rejoicing, because we know where he is. We will miss having him and have missed seeing him on the front row at church. And I will truly miss him in November when we do our annual stew at the fellowship hall. He loved to come and help and we kept an eye on him and wouldn't let him overdo it. He was a special man to New Heights. All of you remain in our prayers. Roger, Barbara, & Katie Shelton
