It would be very difficult to express the pain and suffering we all go through at the loss of a loved one.
That feeling measures how that person has touched your life in a very special way. Know that they are still with you forever and through them, find the strength and courage to keep going.

Georgette and I are so sorry to learn about your dad's passing and want you to know how much we care. We love you for who you are and have always been.
