A few thoughts about what I hope you as my children will do to continue your relationship when I’m no longer around.

First and foremost, and I don’t think I worry about this at all because I see that you do it now and it is part of each one of you and that is to show care and concern and love for Joyce who is the love of my life. Most of my success is because of her support and love. Continue to be part of her life and ensure that she is part of your life for the life of your children.

Some of the best times I’ve ever had in my life are when all of us were together. It doesn’t matter if it’s a big event or adjust meeting us at some fast-food joint, please continue to do that.

Family trips I hope you continue spending time with each other, meeting at different locations seeing the sights, and doing what is there. I know it’s hard for all of you to get together because we live in various locations. But do it when you can and how you can. And if you cannot get together with your brothers and sisters get together with all of your children and grandchildren then any nieces and nephews and brothers and sisters that can.

I would like to see you create a family newsletter whether it be sent out by snail mail, e-mail, Facebook, Marco Polo, or electronically, just different ways to keep in touch and share the daily experiences of life. They are the little things that you will treasure.
