Denise and family, please accept our (Anna’s and my) most sincere condolences at this time of sorrow and loss, with the passing of your beloved father. May the many fond memories and your faith sustain you over the weeks, months and years ahead, and may you find comfort knowing that your dedicated and compassionate support of your dad over his final months eased his and your mom’s suffering. From the stories you have shared with me over the years of the many travels and adventures your parents have been fortunate enough to have had, I know that this his final journey will be the most wondrous one yet, to an enchanted destination beyond our imaginations. May your dad Rest in Peace.
