The lighting of a Memorial Candle not only provides a gesture of sympathy and support to the immediate family during their time of need but also provides the gift of extending the Book of Memories for future generations.

My future father-in-law

First let me say, I loved G.B.(Dad).  I was dating his daughter (Genie) and being an old-fashion guy, I asked G.B. if I could marry his daughter.  G.B. said, "NO"!  I was suprised by his response but honored what he said.  The problem was I had planned to ask Genie to marry me two days after he declared I could not marry her.  G.B. called me the next evening and said he would give me his approval if I promised to treat her like the lovely lady she was, and if I didn't (I will leave it to your imagination as to what he told me he would do if I didn't honor his condiotions) I would regret the day I ever asked him for his daughter's hand.  Dad loved his daughter and I am forever grateful to him for allowing me the privilege of marrying her. 

Thank you Dad!!  I will miss all the good times we shared playing ping pong, croquet, cards and just spending time together.  I love you!
