My Dear Mary Ann:

My thoughts and prayers are with you on this day. I know from my own experience that losing one's father leaves a permanent and sad void in a woman's life. The solace for this loss will come from your belief that you were a wonderful daughter to him and you loved and cherished him in his life. God will now look after him in Heaven. I pray for your peace and patience during this sad time. Please know that you are loved by many and we are all here for you.
