You have been dealt a double dose of parental loss. Nothing will replace them. Hold tight to the memories, record them, write them down so that they will stay with you to comfort. Take care…
Pat sorry for your loss. Your dad was always positive, never a bad word to anyone. A great mentor in life. He served to bring happiness to all the folks that passed through the North Haven Fair. He served the world and really gave back , a hard act to follow. He will be missed in so many ways.
So sorry for your loss, Pat and Charlotte. Both Harold and Ina-Mae will be missed very much.
My sincere condolences to both Patrick and Charlotte. Your Mom and Dad were great friends during our Rabbit Show days, traveling all over the East Coast, never knowing what side trips we would take. I got to see a lot of interesting places. Enjoyed our days at the fairs, camping out in our cars, taking care of the rabbits, your Dad cooking breakfast on his coleman, your Mom standing for the National Anthem at the Chester Fair opening, great memories. God Bless both of them.
