Dear Scott,
So very sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. He was a good hearted man who was full of fun. To this day I can hear the laughter of Jancie and your Mom. Believe that they are now together sharing a laugh and a cup of tea!
People pass through our lives but not out of our hearts. Memories are everything especially the good ones. My Mom has been gone three years and I still talk to her throughout the day.
Scott, I hope this time in your life finds you well and at peace. I trust you found what you were looking for. All the best to you and take great care. I still think of you lots and I always wish you the best.
I have said a prayer for Dad, and also for You, Jason and Clint. May you each be strong through this time and comfort one another.
Thinking of you.
