Suzi! I'm so sorry for your loss! You and your brother, along with all the other family, will certainly be in my prayers for some peace and comfort during the coming days and weeks. I didn't have the opportunity to know your Dad but he had to be a wonderful man to have raised such a great daughter and friend to me. Love you and I'm here if you need me.
