Dear Joan, May you find comfort in the many sweet memories you have recalled to me as you and your family helped your Dad over these last couple of years. As always, there were challenging moments and now you all can smile knowing your Dad is resting at peace and home in heaven where he belongs. May the healing and forgiveness continue for you and yours. God bless and take really good care. Love, Kathy Reiss
