Dearest friend Mary and family of John,
My deepest condolences for your broken hearts, the loss of a father is very difficult. I have learned that the only real difference between life and death is that we can no longing touch them. We will always see them, in our minds, thoughts and prayers. There will be times that you’ll just KNOW he’s with you, maybe the clock will read his birthday, or his favorite bird will land on your porch, whatever it is, it will be him visiting you in some way. The memories that have been made through him, will continue for generations to come. I hope that you find some small comfort in having those memories. May God bring you comfort in all of your needs.
Sincerely Debbee and Jim
