Dear Eileen and Family: Please accept my condolences upon the loss of your beloved father. You were there for me in spirit and thought when my Mom passed. I'll never forget your kindness. I will pray that you and yours will cope and believe that God takes those he loves the most. I'm too far away to be there in person, my heart and spirit are with you.
