Dear Catherine,
I remember your father fondly as someone who was very kind and had a great sense of humor. I am certain that both your mother and he are together in heaven praying for you. They are both proud of the woman you've become. May fond memories of him and the love of family and friends bring you much comfort during this difficult time. You are in my daily thoughts and prayers. Feel free to call upon me if you need to talk. Love, your friend, Betty
