Dear Lin and Family:





I am so sorry for your loss, Lin. You will miss your husband, Paul so much. From what I hear (for I have no first hand knowledge), it's a lonely road and we must find a new way for ourselves.





Maria--to lose your son must be very devastating. My heart goes out to you for I cannot imagine losing one of my children.





For Bob, Tami, Debora, Karen, and Don--for the rest of time, you will find yourselves remembering things your father said and did throughout your lives. My father died when I was 19 and I'm still quoting him. Somehow our parents become so much more knowledgeable as we grow older; and especially after we have our own children.





May God give you all the strength to get through this time. I know that you'll all find great strength in sharing your wonderful memories--memory sharing seems to bring us all through and keep us going.





God bless you all and hold each and every one of you in the palms of His hands.
