Tina and Gwen,
I am sorry to hear of the passing of your dad. You can find comfort in knowing he is now at peace and singing with the angels. He was very proud of you and his grandchildren. The relationship he built with each of you is something very special...something you will always have. I love you both and if you need me I am always here.
