Dearest Clara,
I really do not know how i can ever thankyou enough for your dedication in helping out my Family, on behalf of my four Sisters and myself we all thankyou from the core of our hearts.Our story started as five infant Children who absolutely idolised and Whorshipped our Dad and then one day he was gone forever,the last time i ever saw my Father was around 1965 when i was standing by the runway at Lakenheath AFB here in the UK waving goodbye to Him as he set off back home to the states to set up home with the soul intentions that we were to follow imminently,i guess my Mother had Her reasons as too why it was to never materialise, but those five kids my Father left behind never ever forgot him or stopped loving Him and in time we never ever stopped looking for him ,it is only over these past few years with the technology of computers etc.. that we now seem to be learning a little more about our Family in the states which has been a God send.
All five Children have visited my Fathers Sister in Florida over the past few years, and to be told that the one thing my Father talked and thought about more than anything else in his life was his five Children back in UK and that he so much longed for the day when he could be re-united with his kids proves to us that he never ever forgot us or never ever stopped loving us.
I treasure a Gold Framed black and white photograph that my Aunty gave to me showing five happy little childrenwhich my Father had placed on his Hospital bedside cabinet just before he passed away.We have plans for the future to visit Tacoma and to hopefully visit the place where our Dear Father was laid to rest in 1982 as to let Him know that we never ever gave up looking for the Dad we Loved and missed so much, if only he could have known the pain and hurt he left behind, we know for absolute certain that he would have been on the next plane back to get us.
Once again i Thankyou with all of my Heart
