Words do not accomplish the feelings for my family that I would like to express. May God give you the comfort and strength you need. And your guardian although now in heaven will still be watching over his family. Maybe he will put in a good word for the Cubs on Aunt Babe's behalf.

Kevin & Family,

I'm so sorry for your loss. During this time of grieving for your dad, let your memories comfort you in your sorrow. It is OK to hurt and to be sad as your family has suffered a great lost. Remember your thoughts and memories of your dad will always be there. Although he is gone, the memories of your father will always be with you, his greatest legacy. Each one of you as well as all the lives he touched will help us know he is still with us. Whether it is a reflection in the mirror, a trait you learned from him, or just the way you look at life. There will be things you and others will see that will keep his memories alive. As a dad myself, I know he must be very proud of all of you.

My thoughts are with you and your family at this sad time. May you find comfort in God, Family and Friends and you have my very deepest and sincere sympathy.


Yours in Sympathy,

Kevin Hendrickson
