Dear Elaine, Marcia, Paulette, Douglas, and Beverly, I loved your Dad! He was so cool and even keeled. He was an awesome listener and made you feel so welcome and important. Had the greatest smile, and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to spend some time with you guys, earlier in our years. Praying that God fills you with an awesome feeling of joy and peace and "in knowing" that you will see him again. Sending you hugs, Love, Michelle (Lizzie's mom)

Dear Marcia and Luke,

I truly know what a difficult time this is for you and your family. Take solace in knowing that you did everything you could possibly do, with patience and love, for your Dad, and he knew that! There is and always will be a singular, special bond between you that will never really disappear. I shall keep you (your Mom and your family) in prayer. Know that the strength you need, is already there, inside of you... and those who care about you are here to support you, in any way you may need it, now and in the future.

Your Friend & Colleague,
Barbara Hall, Buffalo NY
