News Alert: Kent Francis turns 70 today!!!

A love letter to my dad on his birthday

You've been a reliable constant in my life-all my life.

Thank you for your wisdom and advice.

I love that my boys look up to you, their "Grandpa".

I appreciate when you encourage me in my parenting and

tell me what a good mom you think I am. (Even when I think otherwise.)

How special you make me feel-even now that I am 45 when

you tell me I am still your "little girl".

Thanks for all your love and generosity to me and my family.

All my love,

Kathy
