Dear Denise, Carol and family:

Although words are not quite enough, I know first hand what a loving and devoted family you are. Denise, you have been the daughter that every parent would want to have. You were truly the love of his life, just as it was stated in the obituary. Please know he is at peace without any further suffering.

Please take care of yourselves. That is what he would want.
