To Dolores, Pauline and family,
Since I just lost my dad two weeks ago, I can understand what you are going through. It is not easy to watch someone you love slip away from you. Even though he is physically gone from your lives, he will never be gone from your hearts. My prayer is that your memories of him will help to ease the pain of his absence.
