Not sure what to say?

Dear April,
I am so sorry for your loss, but know that the blessing of having such a dear man as your father will always be a source of strength and comfort to you. It did not take more than a moment of seeing you two together to know that you were a great source of joy to him and that his love and support played a huge part in helping you become the strong, loving, intelligent woman that you are. For me, your dad's example has served as a reminder that it is not always the big things,...

My thoughts, prayers and love goes out to the Fogg family. I met Larry but never really got to know him. I was and am very close to April and her family in Phoenix, MD. If how you raised your children and extended family is a measure of your life - Larry had a great one albeit cut way too short.

Also, how he would invite and take me to church often. I felt alot of love in your home. He is a very kind and loving man. May he rest in peace.
