April and family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your father. He was a good man and will be missed. I know how excited he would have been to be a greatgrandfather. The only comfort is knowing that he is in a better place with Aunt Kay and my mom and Uncle Joe and all the rest of his family. Take care.
Love,
Linda
Dear April + Family,
