My Dad loved the Virgin de Guadalupe. He made several trips to Mexico to visit the Basilicas. I am very fortunate to accompany him on his trips. I have many fond memories of our trips. He would always mention in his letters about praying to the Virgin for protection. I dedicate this blog to the Virgin and my Dad.



In all his letters he always wrote "Your Loving Father"...here is a Rose for you Dad. A rose grown in my garden an held by your military soldier, Lt. Lyle Bushong.
