Nancy and Dan,

I'm so sorry about your father's passing. I still remember back in 1988 at my wedding reception, your parents were out on the dance floor and stopped to tell me that they hoped I would be as happy as they have been in their wonderful marriage. They did something right. Your father was so proud to be part of the Armenian Church and everyone there loved him. Nothing can replace the void a father leaves, but I hope the fond memories you have of him will provide you some comfort. Lean on God, for he never disappoints. - Grace Shiragian
