Until we lost our parents, I did not know how to speak words of comfort. I drew so much comfort, tho, from those who just said to me, we are so sorry and we are thinking of you, that I learned a tiny bit of what to say. Bill, we are thinking of you, and you and your family are in our prayers.

Dad was all of my life for the last few years. I tried in every way I knew how to make life pleasurable for him. I tried the same at his death. I know he was happy. His passing was peaceful. Scooter, his daschund, was at his side. I stood beside him all the way. Thank you all for your prayers and love. Hope to see you soon. ~ Patty
