I just got the word about your Dad when I got to work this morning. I am so sorry. This is more than you should have to go through at one time. I just wanted to let you know that I have been where you are. It’s really tough but with time, it does get better. Your Dad and Grandmother will continue to live in and through you and you will have lots of memories to carry with you. I love you and will continue to think of you and your family.
