Johnny,
I'm sorry that I will not be able to attend your father's service this afternoon. I know that you and your family will greatly miss your dad. May the days, weeks, and months to come bring fond memories of your dad. I will be praying for all of you during this time and may your sadness turn to joy and to God be the glory.
