This last Thursday. He was a good man and left a fine legacy. Mom is well taken care of. I may talk up some details at a later time, but for now, this is all I wanted to say. Thanks in advance for all your support and kind words. ---

So sorry. Not much else to say really. Stay strong, but not all the time. It’s more than OK for you to let go once in a while. ---

I’m so sorry, **NCB**. I know how you feel. I lost my dad when I was 25, and I still miss him every day. I’m offering a prayer for you, in hopes you’ll have the strength to get though the days ahead. Take care. ---

My condolences also, NCB. My dad passed two years ago and I still have times I wish I could call him to tell him something, or have him come down to watch his grandson play Little League, or a thousand other things. I don’t think that’ll ever stop. Remember him well, NCB. ---

I know how very important your family is to you, and that you and your brother will be there for your mom. Lean on each other. Although I’m sorry for your loss, I’m relieved that your dad is no longer in pain and at peace. He raised a wonderful son. Love, Mo ---
