*hugs* I'm so sorry


I've experienced the death of a parent so I know the pain that you are going through. But there are no words to take that pain away, only time will do that.

I hope he got to see that lovely tribute that you placed in the newspaper or them.

Carol...I'm soo very sorry to hear about your dad.
It sounds like you have a wonderful family and friends that cherished your dad. I'm glad that you were able to be there for him and your mom. It will be hard at first, but you will be able to remember all the good times you had.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
I lost my mom & sister in the last 2 yrs and know how it feels.

Condolences to your entire family on a sad loss. I am glad that you were there with him, and now he is happily reunited with those boys who were taken by war so many years ago.
Your father and all the other WWII vets are such precious treasures and an inspiration for generations now living and those to come.

Your post was beautiful to read - your father gave you such courage. I am glad that your mom & nephew have you in their lives during these days of loss.

Oh Carol, I am so sorry. I had hoped you would have more time with him. But, at least his last days were spent at home with people he loved rather than a cold, impersonal hospital. I keep thinking about the tribute you wrote for your parents that was published in the paper. He sounds like a very special man. I wish I could have known him.

Carol, my heart is breaking for you and your family. I'm so sorry that he passed so soon. He sounds like such a wonderful man, and he was so very lucky to have such a wonderful family caring for him. How wonderful for you to keep his chair for him to sit in when he visits. You know that he will never truly be gone, he lives on in your heart, and will visit you often. Let me know if there is anything that I can do for you or your family.
