Thank you for your outpouring of support during these troubling times.   The loss of my father has been difficult for myself and my family.

Yet, your cards, words of condolence and support, your meals brought and shared, the desserts offered, in short, your acts of love and care have been deeply cherished.   They have brought comfort in this time. I am incredibly grateful and appreciative for your thoughts, prayers, and acts of kindness.       

I know, really know, that my father is in a better place. Our loss has been his gain and I will see him again one day in the future.     

I look forward to seeing you when I return.  I pray you are greatly blessed by our God in my absence. That you have a tangible reality of God’s loving presence in your life. God’s peace be with you all.
