Special thoughts and heartfelt prayers are with you and your family during this time of sorrow. Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade because a loved one's gone. Those we love can never be more that a thought apart for as long there is a memory, they'll live on in our hearts. May you make yourself familiar with the angels and behold them frequently in spirit; for without being seen, Mr. Sam is present with you always.

Yvette,
I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad, but I'm so glad that you were there with him.
"So we don't look at the troubles we can see right now; rather, we look forward to what we have not yet seen. For the troubles we see will soon be over, but the joys to come will last forever." 2 Corinthians 4:16
