Happy Birthday Bart!

Today marks what woul have been our dad's 94th birtjday. Bart and Peggy were truly devoted parents. They made inumerable sacrfics for the five of us throughout theit lives. The two of them never considered anything they did for their children as a sacrifice. Each and every day of their lives they were committed to doing what was best for us.

The most precious gift Bart and Peggy bestowed upon each of us was an inexhaustible supply of unconditional love. We all began each day knowing that no matter what happend our parents would be there for us in good times and especiallt when life got challenging–as it often does.

Marueen, Bart, Colleen, Kathy and I are who we are today becuase of Bart and Peggy. As you all have leanred firsthand, Carolyn has also blessed us with her unconditional love. Life woudl be a lot harder and less meaningful if Carolyn had not become a part of our family.

Happy Birthday Bart. May God bless and keep watch over you.
