I'd like to give you the gift of success, but that's something that only has true value if it is earned. I'd like to give you the gift of happiness, but the path that leads you there is one you must find on your own. But there is one gift that I can give you today that will always be with you -- and that's my love. Dad Washburn-McReavy.com Crystal Lake Chapel 612-521-3677
