Thinking about you today and missing your presence at Legend. Forever my favorite resident, forever in my heart. We will continue keeping your memory alive whether it’s whistling or singing “On the Road Again.”

I miss you, Dad. You wrote once in my Baby Book:”Let God be your conscience and your guide.” You were also both, for all of my life. Hopefully we will meet again. Until then, as we always said to each other, every night: I’ll see you in the morning. 
Sheryl Williams
