When your soul passes on, judged by its weight against that of a feather, it will be buoyed by the quality of those left behind. I look to my father, and see the best man I've ever known: a man of dignity, loyalty and love, who affords others respect and kindness through this I know the lightness and grace of his mother and my grandmother.

Words fall short of expressing my sorrow for your loss.
