Sally, so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I know that nothing people say will be much comfort but know this, as we talked about before having no regrets. You can at least look back at all this and say that you have nothing to regret. You were a great daughter to him and you were there for him when it really mattered. Please know that you have friends here at work if you ever need to talk or just a shoulder to cry on. Your a special person Sally and I'm sure your father is feeling that now and forever!!!!
