Dear Lauren and Katie, Just want you both to know how much we are thinking of you both and keeping you in our prayers! As you may know, my father passed away 3 years ago also from cancer. I write from experience to you both that I understand how hard it is to let go, but ....the blessing that you all were able to be there and comfort your Dad through many of his tough moments is a memory you will always hold. Although we moved away about 9 years ago, our Miami Ct. times were some of the best...dinners with the neighbors, birthday party activities, and good times will always be remembered. One time , I was alone, feeling ill, and quite scared...it must have been 11:30 at night and I call your Dad. He assured me that I would be OK and that he was just across the street if I needed him... As Bill was out of town and I had 3 little girls sleeping, it was a big comfort to hear Jan tell me he was there if needed. Please know that Bill and I and the girls send our condolences and know that we are here, just 3 miles away from your child hood home if you need us. Love, Laurel, Bill, Hillary, Claire and Corey
