on Saturday nights. He also liked to sing, whether
he was on key or off, and he had a great sense of
humor.
"A caged bird cannot sing, but when let go he
soars freely, and that is where I will see my
father, riding on the wind to wherever over the
mountains of blue skies, free at last. All my love."
