My heart is heavy for the loss of your dad. I know he's resting peacefully now but it doesn't make it any easier to lose a parent. You and your family are lucky to have each other and your dad was loved and admired by all he knew. Take care of your mom❤

If there is anything you need please don't hesitate to call. The coming days will be tough. Please know I am here for you. Take care,
Toni Don Jared and Jason
