Henry and Carol,
As I will not be able to attend the visitation and service for your Dad because of working, but I will be thinking about you and your family. He has been sick for so long, you will find comfort to know he is not hurting and sick anymore. Just remember all the good times and memories you have of him and it will help you in the days to come. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
A friend,
Joan LeCroix
