Dear Karen,
Mom called and told me about your dad. Please extend to your family my sympathies. When I remember our high school days, your dad and mom are always a part of my wonderful memories. May God be with you during these difficult days. Losing a parent is so difficult, but knowing he is not suffering anymore makes it easier. Hope to see you soon.
