So sorry to hear of B.L. passing. Children he was a very loving father and a very good provider for his family.  He loved you all.  But I want to share a little story that I had the chance to be a part of. I think you'll find it interesting especially one little o boy. 
I never was around B.L. much but I never saw  him that he wasn't smiling. He was a lot of fun to be around. I had the opportunity to visit in the home with his sister Peggy once many years ago. But it was a rememberable visit. The children were small. And I remember one in perteculiar by the name Steven. He was about 7-8 years old. Full of mischief. Couldn't be still a minute. Everything we went to or go he always managed to get beside me and hold my hand or try to put his arm around me.  He told me that he loved me.  His Dad told him, son if you don't leave her alone your gonna get it.  He said Dad but I love her.  Well I thought this weekend better pass quickly or this lad gonna get a spankng by Dad. Nevertheless it came a terrible snow storm and that weekend turned into 12 days. I knew I was gonna have to help that little boy out before he got a spanking. So we played Old Maid, checkers, another card game called fish for 12 days. Finally weather broke enough so that we could get on the road and as we  were heading out the door that little Steven ask if he could give me a hug so I stooped down for a hug he looked up with big puppy dog tears in his eyes and said Kathy can I go home and stay with you. His Dad said Steven leave her alone. I told B.L. it was alright. Then Steven went into his room and cried.  We all hugged goodbye and we  left.  But that was the most warm welcome that I have ever received by a family member in my life. Everyone had a good time and there was plenty to eat. The snow was so deep nothing left but to have a good time and that we did. I'll never forget it. Good warm welcome and fun for all.    
Sincerely
Kathy Whitehead Collins
