It''s a shame that Don and Lori didn''t treat their father like they treated their mother and give him a proper funeral and burial. Lawrence (my father from his first marriage) deserved much better than they gave him. I hope that now he can rest in peace. I know that he will never forgive both of them for this. This is not what he would have wanted.
