Trent,
I was very sad to hear about your dad. I only met him a few times but he was very kind and thoughtful to me and my family. I haven't spoke with you for awhile but please know that I love you and I am sending you peace. Your dad was very fortunate to have you as his son. He knew your goodness and strength and your final gift of love comforted him. My mom always loved you, Trent, and now she is talking John's ear off in heaven. I will call you soon. My prayers are with you, Dreama.
With Love, Kathleen.
