Kathleen, this reminder of your dad’s passing arrived in my email and made me think of you. I hope you are doing well. You were a great daughter. I’m sure your presence made your dad’s passing easier for him. I can’t believe it’s been 5 years.. Time flies but doesn’t really heal the void. My mom is gone 19 years. I think of her every day .❤
Take care. You are thought of and prayed for by your old friend.
Love,
Mate

Mary
