Tony, siblings and families, I am so sorry to hear of your daddy’s passing. He was a very nice man. He’s with Nanny Norris now but more important, he’s with his Lord and Savior. I know he will be greatly missed. I will keep y’all in my prayers.
We are so sad for your family. We know he is whole again, and so happy to be with his wife. I hope that gives you some comfort, as I know they want you to be very happy for them.
Our prayers are with you all during this time of grief!
Sincerely,
The Arquettes
