Dear Joann and family members, I am so sorry to learn about the loss of your father. I lost my mother on New Year's Eve and am still feeling my great loss. It is hard to believe one month ago Joann and I met at Big Lots and were talking about our elderly parents. How things can change so fast. My heart and best wishes go out to all of you.
