In loving memory of our special dad, Ivan B. Longdon, Jr.

Dad,

You taught me so very much:Laughing and loving are essentialFamily is everythingEnjoy life

So many things remind me of you:BirdhousesLisa's carMarc's sense of humorWooden tulips and bright colorsGoodie-gubs

I miss:YOU!You sitting on a lawnchair in the driveway waiting for meCalling you: for advise, to tell you my odometer just turned over 50KSharing jokes with youYour irresistible smileMy kids having their PapPap who adored them and let them know itSmooches on the noggin and pappy hubsBeing your PCYou telling me you love me

Where I see you:In the sadness in mom's eyes;In Bev's pain at losing the one who helped her know she was very special,In my picture of you and mom that you carried in your wallet all those yearsSunshiny daysIn the handmade treasures you made for usWe love you very much dad — and you are very missed by all.
