Barbara,

I am so very sorry to hear of your father's passing. I know this has been a long hard road to travel with your family. I too walked that same path with my mom so very recently. My heart aches for you for I know how you feel. I am out of town this weekend and I will not be able to attend the visitation or funeral but please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
