I am so very sorry for your loss. I have no doubt it is more profound than what I imagine. Your parents always stood out to me. Even as a child and seeing them through the years I always noticed they both exemplified such confidence and self respect. I have always thought of your family as such an exemplary unit. I always saw your dad as a stand out among men. One whose demeanor and presence never waivered. This world truly needs more like him and it makes my heart sad for your loss but happy that he lives within you and Darrell and his grandchildren. Carry his legacy with pride and may it comfort your days when you most need it. My sincere condolences to you and your family and Dolores.
