Dear Ken, I wish I met your dad. I am sorry for your loss. It seems as though you feel you may be prepared for the loss of a loved one, but that never ends up being true. The finality of it makes it tough, but you were able to be there for your dad whenever he needed you and always have time to pick up the spirits of PWP's on the list. You are obvious in your respect, caring way and warm demeanor. I know I speak for everyone on the list when I say you truly have a very positive influence on us. Thank you from an admiring friend.
