Claire,
My deepest sympathy at the loss of your father. I share in your sorrow having lost my dad nearly 3 years ago at 85. Yes, it is very difficult especially now, but the love of family and friends help you through the tough times. All the wonderful memories of my dad, especially how he made me laugh and helped me to appreciate the simpler things in life, continue to give me the happiness, strength and courage needed to get me through each day. I’m sure it will be the same for you as well.
Take care.
Your old school pal (St. Pat’s & St. Ann’s)
Salina (Joe) Ruffolo
