Dad,

Just a quick note to thank you for your many years of love and compassion toward Mom in her time of need. You were and still are an inspiration to me and I will never forget the sacrifice and hard work you put forth to comfort Mom in her last days. She is at peace now and her final days were made better because of you. I miss her very much already but know she would want me to move on. I will move on now and carry the memory of her everywhere I go from this minute forward. She was the best Mother in the whole world and I am proud to be her son and yours.
