May 4, 2012 at 1:50 pmBunny, so sorry to hear of the death of your father. Even after 96 years it’s never easy to say good bye. The one consulation I have found is when they were alive I was always feeling guilty about how I should be spending more time with them and now all I have to do is think of them and they are right with me.
Peace and Prayers
