Dear Auntie Alice & Kathy,
Though your hearts are heavy now, hold close the happiest of memories, and hopefully that will see you through this very difficult time. Kathy, your Dad was so very lucky to have such a caring and devoted daughter! Don't think for a moment that both your Mom & Dad aren't grateful for everything you have done and continue to do every day for them both. You are their blessing, their angel!

I am sorry I could not be there personally to pay my respects, but know that you have both been and will continue to be in my prayers.

I hope your family can find peace in this time of sorrow. Remember the good times, they were many, and remember how much you need each other at all times. Love, laughter, pain and sorrow are the traits you loved in your father and they are the memories that will last with you forever. May God be with you in your deepest sorrow until the time comes when memories again bring you happiness.
