Dear Jean,
My heart goes out to you as you go through this difficult time. You did everything you could to care for and support your father - and, most of all, to love him. Hold on to all of your happy memories! From what I understand he had a strong faith, so he will be comforted on his new journey.
I'm sorry that I won't be there in person to add my support over these next few days, but you will definitely be in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Pat
