Rosie, Derrick and Family,
I'm so very sorry for your loss. Please take comfort in knowing that you were ALL that your dad needed; whenever he needed it. Your lives will never be the same, but that doesn't have to be a bad thing. Rosie, ask yourself what would your dad want you to do and DO IT! May God comfort you during this difficult time.
With lots of love,
Tracey and Family
