Dear Debie and family. You are like family to us. We were so sad to hear of your Dad's passing. You can rest and know that he is not suffering any more and he's not afraid any longer. He is at peace now with your sister. You should feel good that you honored his wishes over the past several weeks, he's in a better place now. It's not easy to lose someone but in time your heart will heal and you can talk about your Dad and share his stories with your own kids and Grandson.
You know we will always be there for you.
