Paul & Family,
Bup and I send our prayers and condolences.
Navigating through the loss of a parent is truly not an easy task. We grow up with that feeling of an everlasting love and the protection that comes from our parents. When that connection is broken, there is always a void that cannot be filled.
We have to trust that he is in a better place, free from all things that are painful and sad. May you find that time brings comfort. Thinking of you all.
