Dear Lo,
We have known each other for so long and to hear of your father's death was like losing a family member of mine. We wish to extend sincere condolences and love to you, Perk and your family members. We can sincerely say we know what you are feeling because we have been there. I cannot say the lost will ever be replaced with anything, however memories will soften the lost. Much love from us but may God's love sustain you forever.
