Susan,
I am sorry to hear about your father. I enjoyed working with him during his time at Eaton. I thought highly of him and can still see the sparkle in his eyes when he spoke of you. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time.
I am so sorry for your loss. I pray the Holy Spirit eases your broken hearts as only He can. I know Sunny gave Sonya the biggest bear hug when he got there! I love you all so much, and please let me know if I can ever do anything for you.
