    My dear friend Sharon, I am so sorry for your loss and my deepest condolences go out to you and your family. Although I never had the pleasure to meet your dad, over the last few months, through you, I got to know what a strong and humorous man he was. You were all blessed to have him as he was blessed to have you. I wish you and your family love and peace at this time.

    Dearest Sharon, I have had you on my mind all day as I traveled home from Minneapolis. Please know how much I missed being with you and your family today as you honored your Dad. I look forward to a good YA YA visit with you soon! You are in my heart always and prayers every day. I know you are surrounded by people who love you and who loved your Dad and know there are many who will treasure all the good memories of him. Much Love, Beth
