Nancy Lynn, I Was Really Sad To Hear That Your Father Passed. From My Brief Meeting I Really Could Tell He Was A Special Person. I Accidently Met Him At The Wine Cellar Park Run Last Year. He Was Looking For Lynn And Explaining Who He Was Searching For. I Said Something Like “The Really Fast One”. He Had A Great Come Back For A Father “She’D Better Be….. ” He Was Really Fun. And Then Later I Found Out You Two Were Sisters. Hugs Sandi
