Oh, my sweet Renae,

I know how devastating this must be for you. You have been a wonderful daughter. You and Todd have done everything in your power to care for your Daddy and I know what a loss this is for you.

My only advice to you and Todd is to remember the wonderful times with your Daddy, talk about them and share them with others. I'm so glad you had the time together just to be Daddy and Daughter. Cherish the laughter, the joy, and even the sad memories. He will live on forever in your heart and in the hearts of others who loved him. Know that he is with our Heavenly Father now and is rejoined with your Mother at Jesus' feet. Be happy for them and remember that you, too, will join them one day and it will be a great reunion in the heavens.

I love you,

Patsy

Renae...I am so sorry for your loss. I know what a Daddy means to a daughter. That precious soul isn't suffering any longer. He is with Jesus. He can see perfectly and walk with ease. Your Daddy and Mother are together again. It's so hard to let them go and we miss them forever, but knowing they are in the hands of God helps in our time of grief.

Love and prayers,

Vickie
