Dear Tom and Eileen-

You have suffered a tremendous loss,I send my heartfelt sympathy to you all-there just are no words in our English language to offer comfort-truely there is nothing worse than losing a parent-it does ease the pain to bring him back to you by remembering that your dad is always with you, in your memories he can never die-you shared many happy times just bring him back by recalling them - You will have peace knowing he is in a far better place, with no more suffering, we are all here for such a short stay, and it slips by ever so quickly... Please know that you are in my thoughts..and I pray for YOUR peace...God Bless

With Much Love
