Dear Karen,
I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family at this difficult time.
I have to tell you that I saw you in a dream that I had Saturday night. So I was especially shocked to read the next day that your Dad had died.
I pray that there are many good memories that will comfort you and your family.
Sincerely,
Mary

Gary and I knew Bud and Ida through our Alzheimer's Support Group. We didn't know Bud long, but we loved and cared for him very much. He was a guest in our home several times and we really enjoyed him. God love Bud and his wonderful family.
