Dear Tina & Michael---I was so sorry to hear about your dad. I wish I could have been there but I found out too late. I remember Julis as a loving dad who was very proud of his kids and would have done anything for them. I remember that dukes of hazard horn he had on his truck! Take care and you all are in my prayers.
