I have just been informed that my ex Father in Law, Peter, has recently passed away. Although we had our differences and it took a long time for me to be accepted, I am still glad I knew him. Pauline, I am sharing in your sadness as you remember your Father. You are still in my thoughts and hope you are doing okay. Remembering better times, Love Jeff
