I wish I knew words that would comfort your family right now. However, I don’t think those words exist.
Your family is in my thoughts. Hold his memory dear.
I’m sorry for your loss **Bricker**.

**Bricker** I am so sorry. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. And, as my mother always says at times like these, take care of yourself! Eat right, get some sleep. Things will be sad and you will need all the strength you can get to help.

> Anyway, your prayers and good wishes are most certainly requested and appreciated, for the repose of the soul of a very good, very honest, and very admirable man, who raised two wonderful daughters and three great sons, and I was proud to be added as his fourth son.
I am sorry for your loss. I can’t help but think that a life was well-lived when the people you leave behind say something like the above about you. That single sentence speaks volumes.

I’m so sorry. My condolences to you and your wife and to the rest of the family. I lost my MIL in February and all I can do is say I know how much you hurt. My sympathies.
