Todd,
You probably don't remember me, but I am your second cousin, Ellen. My mother was Lorraine (one of the twins) and was your father's first cousin. I am sorry to hear about the loss of your father. I know how difficult it is, as I lost my mother 3 years ago. I'm happy to see you have 4 sons. I'm sure they were a joy to your parent's life. Contact me if you would like. I would love to hear from you. I know my Grandma Dinah (your Grandfater Izzy's sister) would be glad to know I contacted you. With fondness, and condolences, Ellen

Todd and family:
I did not know your father but I do understand the loss of a parent. It will take time and patience to continue to deal with the loss and grief. Know that the best way to deal is to remember the good times and the special moments and help your children remember those memories so they will have good things to think about as they grow older.
Thoughts and prayers to all
