We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Stewart Baxter Funeral & Memorial Services – Cedar Rapids
I am so sorry to hear about your dad. He taught me how to drive when I was 16, in the evenings! He was always laughing and happy. He loved his family and his friends and would do anything for them. Your parents were both kind and sweet people. Together they watch over you. So much love from Ohio. We pray for peace & comfort at this time. Love, Amy and Ben Sanidad
