You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I have many memories of all of you...laughter, as well as sadness. You were my "kids." and I loved you as my "kids." I know that even after 3 years, the hurt remains. That is because you loved your Dad so well.....that is such a blessing and a gift that will never be imitated or replaced. But as you get together and look at each other, you will see and hear your Dad in each of you. And if I remember him well at all, he'll be laughing at the reaction of this realization that you will all share!!!
God bless all of you. You will continue to be in my heart and prayers.
