Lisa, Mom and Laurel's family, I sorrow as well as rejoice with you at my "Pa's" Homegoing. Laurel (always Pa to me) was a wonderful, caring and compassionate man. He came along into Mom's life when she needed a new love and companion, and I got lucky enough to have one of the best stepdad's a woman could ever have. He was always there for me and my family when we needed him. He will be truly missed until we see him on the other side.
