To my dear friend, his daughter Tanya, just know, I’m sending you heartfelt hugs. I know Bill will take good care of you, and see you through this, along with the rest of your family. I’ve remembered you, your Mom and Dad, and your family, in my daily prayers, and thoughts. It is difficult, but the happy memories, and knowing he’s fishing somewhere, should make you smile. Your friends in Florida love you and are here for you. Be well. Be peaceful.
Sandra and Mike, I’m so sorry for your loss. You did an amazing job taking care of your dad. Hold the good memories close and call on your friends whenever you need to. Peace.
