To LJ, Al, Paul, and Don,

Words cannot begin to express the overwhelming feelings of shock, disbelief, numbness, and despair you are feeling right now. Few things in life will ever affect you more deeply than the death of a parent. Not only do you have to endure the intense pain of losing your dad, you are now left to face a future that will likely be quite different. I wish I could be there to hold you and tell you, "It’s going to be alright.” In prayer, pour out your heart to the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation.”—2 Corinthians 1:3, 4. And may his love sustain you through the days ahead.

A special message for the Raci family -
I was surprised and sorry to hear about Mitchell's death. I had often thought about him since your mother's death. I still have great memories of my time with them at their home up north before their move closer to you. Your parents have a special place in my heart and prayers also -
