Not sure what to say?

Coleen, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your father. My thoughts are with you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

I remember every summer when I came to Virgina for vacation you would always take me swimming at the Country Club in Winchester. I remember my first dive off the diving board and the smile on your face when i got...
