My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this sad time. Debbie (Aust) has kept me posted on your Dad's condition and how you are doing for many months now. Your Dad was truly blessed to have such a caring family. And you girls were just as blessed to have such a wonderful father.
My sincere condolenses.
