Your Dad was a very special brother in law to me. He brought me some orange lilies one year for our anniversary and planted them in my flower bed before he told me about them. That was in Jan. I didn't see them until they came up in the spring. That was over 30 years ago. I am reminded every spring when they bloom again!
Yall have many good memories of him also. Hang on to them. There will never be a other Mick!
Love You all
