Michael, I truly believe that when you meet someone's children, you understand more fully their legacy. Your father must have been a wonderful, intelligent, gifted and sensitive man to have raised you to be who you are. I know how great a loss this must be for you, as I have lost both of my parents. Be encouraged that your friends, colleagues and fellow Elmwood'ers are keeping you and your family in their prayers at this time.
