When my Daddy was in the Army Air Corps., during World War II, he met my Mom in Sleford, England, they fell in love and the rest is history. Daddy was a young man of 36 yrs. when he was severely injured in a motorcylce accident. Our Daddy never regained conciousness and less than 12 hrs. later that Saturday, at 11:25 p.m. our Daddy died from his injuries. They say time heals all wounds but the death of our Dad is still real. His family is with him now after all these years. R.I.P. Daddy, you are missed and forever loved.
