Thank you again for everything you have done for our family. "

So sorry about your loss. Losing a parent has special meaning and impact, no matter how long you have had them with you. The longer the life, the more the memories, the greater the sense of loss.

Love and prayers to you and your family my friend. Always, Lucinda
