Dear Diane, Gloria, Judy and Martha,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your father. It is hard to believe that we all saw each other last at the ER. Even though your dad was ill on that day, he had such a peaceful countenance. I was struck by that and by the love and sense of family that surrounded him.
My prayers and big hugs are with you all. He will be missed.
Love,
Carla Castor
