Basha,

I am so sorry about the death of your dad. Although I have not seen him in years I remember when we were kids all the fun we had at your house and what a good person he is. He was always so kind to me and so funny too. How lucky you are to have had such a good dad to look up to- be there for you and work so hard along with your mom for all of you. What a legacy he leaves behind!I am praying for all of you for the strength to get through this and for Tata too. May God bless him and know that your father will always be in your hearts. Take care.

Love,

Jacqueline Morse-Wright

Annette,

I haven't seen you in years, but seen your Grandpa's obituary and wanted to send my condolences to you and your family. I lost my dad 6 weeks ago and know how devastating losing someone so close to you can be.

With deepest sympathy
