Dear Lindsay,
I am so sorry for the profound and untimely loss of your father. I met him several times at the University and he always talked about how he was so proud of you for making the decision to become a nurse. In this time of great sorrow, I hope you can feel his love for you. For when a life ends unexpectedly and you don't have the opportunity to say goodbye, love remains. I hope you will find comfort in your father's love and find peace in our heavenly Father's never ending love for all of us. Remember to look up Lindsay and believe, God is with you. Prof. Shields
