Dear Virginia,
I am so sorry to hear about your father. It is good you had some special time with him. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope for the time when those tears that sting will ease and the pain fade away. May all your memories be from special times and the love you have for him. Know that I am here sweetie if you need me. Take care of your self. (my little sis Ginney) Love Joan
