    Dear Michelle and family, We read about the passing of your dad and remember him so well when we were neighbors right over the fence from your horse farm. We send our sincere sympathy to you and your mom and your children and brothers during this time. It was nice to read how much he loved being a Papa, also. We know you will miss him. Love, The Fuellings
