Daddy,
I miss you so much. I don't know what to do without you, even almost two months later. It seems to get harder. I love you and would give anything for just 5 more minutes with you.

Dear Kerry,

Your father was a dear friend. We had tried on several occasions to meet in person, but unfortunately something always came up. We were long distance friends for over a year.

He talked about you and his darling granddaughter all the time. He loved you, and the rest of his family dearly.

I loved "Murphy" with all my heart and will miss him greatly. I last talked with him on Sweetest Day.

My deepest sympathy for your loss. He will truly be missed.

Love,
Judy

Dear Kerry, I was so saddened to hear of your father's death. We had become friends during this past summer and I found him to be a wonderful man. He truly cared for you and Delaney as well as the rest of his family. May you know that people that you have never met cared very much for him and will miss him greatly.
