I am priviledged to have called him friend. He was a HERO.

Mary,

In times like these all we can do is pray that our loved ones are safe in Christ's care. I am sorry to hear about your fathers passing.

I am Truely sorry for your loss. I could not believe that day you called me and actually wanted to express your concern for my loss, when in fact you were also hurting also. If your father was anything like you, then I am sure he was a Great Man also. May God Bless All of Your Family, but Especially a Great Person such as You.

Mary, I am sorry to learn of your father's passing. My prayers to you and your family. Fondly,

I saw John for therapy and he was always such a bright spot in my day. He had an easygoing manner and what a good sense of humor! He sure made me laugh and he always had a good story.

You set an example I try to follow everyday. More then missing the advice and guidance you gave though, I shall miss you. You were my dear friend and I will miss that friendship most of all.
