Even though my dad was only five when you passed he talked of you often and how much they missed you and they all loved you very much. Grandmother raised all eight kids who grew into great adults. We all love and miss you and appreciate the sacrifice you gave for our safety. Bonnie Blackberg, Granddaughter
