Happy Fathers Day

I just wanted to say Happy Father's Day to the two men in my life. I am not only blessed with a wonderful husband but also a great son. They both take on their responsabilities as Father very seriously, showing great pride in there position as a parent and representing honor in their actions and respect for their families. They show love to us all in everything that they do. We know that we can count on them for anything. Glen, I commend you on the great job you did with our children, I am very proud of you and admire you so much. Kevin, I am pleased to see that you have followed in your father's footsteps and to know that you too have been faithful to your daughter and shown her the strength and dillagence it takes to keep a family together even when they're apart. She will always know our love and famliy. Thanks guys for doing a GREAT Job.
