Mary and Marie,
My heartfelt condolences for the lost of your father. I have fond memories of the Pover family growing up in my teens. When I first heard of your dad's passing, I immediately thought of your mom and dad lovingly embracing, celebrating a new beginning together that is everlasting. God speed to both of you and your families.
