Dear Terri,

Though I only met your father once (a year ago at Cathy's Christmas-after-Christmas party), I could see that he was well loved and well thought of. People flocked around him after he was "enthroned" on a chair in the living room.

I prayed for him while he was alive, and now I pray for you and your family as you morn the death of your father, the family patriarch. May God keep you enfolded in God's arm, and surrounded with God's peace.

Sincerely,

Madeline S

Dear Terri and Mary Catherine,
There must be a big empty spot in your days, given the care you lavished on Charles. May he return the care in abundance, now that he has reached the other side.

Dear Terri & Mary Catherine
No matter how "grown-up" we seem to be, I think we are never quite ready to lose a parent. I hope your warm memories will bring you consolation.
