Per an update on arrangements for my Daddy-O.
Mom and I have handled everything with Domico as of early this
morning. Dates and times of services are posted.
Any platters or light covered dishes would be appreciated for
the Viewing service on Monday. Domico has a pleasant and comfortably sized
dining/gathering area for us. Comment what you would like to bring so we don’t

Your continued support, reaching out, and most importantly help
with Mom is so very appreciated. Thank you all for being in our lives and
getting us through these times.
Ron and Susan met at a night
club on Morgantown Avenue in Fairmont. That was it. Shazam!
What
followed was 36 years of a love that made Romeo and Juliet and Marc Anthony and
Cleopatra look like hand-holders.
