Dearest Linda, I am sending you my heartfelt condolences and love. Having just been through this myself in September, I know how difficult it is; but you KNOW we are all with you in thought and in spirit, even though most of us can't be there in person. Let our love wrap itself around you and hold you for comfort. Your father is with you still; he is just waiting now for you on a higher plane, and you will all be together again at some time in the future.
Love and prayers,
Paula
