God is close to the broken-hearted. May His presence be felt ever more strongly today.

I am so sorry for your sadness. Your dad was always kind and gentle to me. Unfortunately, most of my memories of him and and all of you are from my childhood, but they are still good memories. I do remember how sweet he was to me at my Mom's graveside service back in 2010. I wish I could be there for you all at this sad time.

Just know that you will remain in my thoughts and prayers,

Linda (your Aunt Ruth's youngest daughter)
