It's difficult to know just what to say at this sad time because your loss is so great and because your father will be missed in so many ways. But even though no words can truly comfort you, perhaps they can, in some small way, express the depth of care and concern that's felt for you and your family at this most heart-wrenching time.

Pam & Family: While I never knew your father I always enjoyed the many stories you told of his life. He was a very interesting individual. You and your family are in my prayers during this time of sorrow. I know he is now pain free and where he has wanted to be. Although I am unable to be with you please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
