Lillian once told me that one day my dad noticed that she was having a hard time with her mom and others when she was a kid. My dad took her from the room and drove her down to Sees candies and they bought a big box of chocolate. They drove around and ate them until almost all of it was gone, then said "we better leave some for everyone else" and brought a few back to the group.
My dad always made the kids feel good and loved them. On my cousin Lillian's birthday she received a box from him...it was a box of Rocky Road chocolates. He always cared for everyone and had a heart of gold.
