Dear Terry and Tom,
Whenever I think of your Dad, I think of him smiling. Brings back good memories. I know that your loving families surrounding you will help heal the sadness. Having caring loved ones around us when we lost my folks, was a blessing.

Mom,
I know that everything has been hard for you but I want you to know how wonderful and caring you were to your father. I'm sure he really appreciated everything you did to care for him so greatly. Always know that I am here for you in our time of sorrow. (We love you and miss you Grandpa, kiss Grandma Dee for us!)

Losing one's parent leaves a hole in the heart that only time will fill. All our prayers are with the family.

Terry, My heart goes out to you. Having been in your position, I know the pain you are feeling right now. We are never ready to let go. Guess we are all selfish that way. But time will heal and you have all your memories in your heart. And they will live on. My love to all your family. Florence Marie
