James,
I had the pleasure of many conversations with your father,most of which were about his love and care for you. Many people were touched by your father and his kindness, even in the mist of his illness he truly cared about my day, what a blessing to have known him.
Take care of your grandparents:) And always remember how much your dad loves you.

James;
I saw the love that your Dad has for you. I do not use the past tense because the love of a Father will carry on forever. I will think of your Dad and I will smile.
Take care. Do good things.
