I was so sorry to read about the death of your father. Taking care of your father in the hospital was a pleasure, just in the short time I cared for him, I knew what a kind and loving man he was. My thoughts and prayers are with you. You  are so blessed to have such a great family, everyday you were there for him and I'm sure that meant so much to him.
