I was so sorry to learn of your dads passing. I know it was unexpected, so it is sometimes harder to come to terms with. Losing a loved one is never easy and I hope that as the days pass, you will all find strength and comfort in Marty's memory. I was hoping to attend the Funeral today, but I am at work and am unable to get away as I am on my own.
I will be thinking of you all today.
Love Karen Gillam and Family
