Dear Carol,
You supported me during the loss of my father recently and I was grateful for your thoughts and prayers. You now have my heart felt condolences. Over the past year, I was able to witness your dedication to your father during the course of his illness...you are truly a loving and remarkable daughter. There is no doubt he is proud of you! It isn't easy as I often find myself thinking of my father and will tear up. And it is odd at times what triggers those special memories. But know you have friends to help comfort you as you grieve! All my thoughts and prayers.
