My deepest condolences for the death of your father. I was a very close friend of Cara's in grade school and would love to reconnect with her.
I am so very sorry for your loss as no matter the age it is painful to lose a dear parent.

The excerpt printed in Mr. Nelson's obituary from his high school Yearbook was so touching and so totally
meaningful today; truly he was a man way ahead of his time; it was a wonderful piece to share, and gave such insight into what had to be a remarkable human being.
