Thank you, Karen! Appreciate your comments. I too remember many fun times with your family! :) It's a comfort to know he is with the Lord... Pam
DeleteI always called him Mr. Schmeichel, but he was my God father, and that's how I looked at him. He and his wife, my God mother, were good and gentle people. They always remembered me during special times in my life. I am saddened to hear he's gone, but I am happy that he's with God in Heaven. My prayers are for my God mother, Paul, Cindy, Pam and their children.
