Dear Cousins,



My deepest heartfelt sympathy to you for the loss of your father. I understand just how you feel and my heart is with you even though I am so far away. I wish I were there to give you kinds words and support. It always difficult to lose a parent, but even more difficult when it is the last parent. I have the most fond memories of my Uncle Bob. He is a great father, husband, brother and uncle. The loss will never disappear, but comfort is found in knowing that the only thing that stands between you and your parents is time, and that is bearable. God bless you.



All my love and prayers,

The Gibbons Family
