Dear Lori,
My condolences to you and your family. Although I did not know your father, I know how much you loved him. I know you took great care of him in his time of decline. You were a great daughter. I'm so sorry he has gone and you have to go on without him. I know how hard it's going to be for you. My heart goes out to you. I am here for you as a friend. From now on you will start remembering all the great things about your father and those memories will get better and better. But the sadness of him not being here will remain. Tell your happy stories about him whenever you can. I want to hear them. God bless you dear Lori. Peace to you and your family. Ava Sands
