    Dear Betsy, my deepest sympathy for the loss of your Dad. I cannot begin to know what you are going through although I did just lose my father in law in January so I do feel your pain to some extent. I hear that only time will help ease the pain. I hope that you have some wonderful memories to hold dear to your heart. If there is anything I can do for you, please do not hesitate to ask. Jody
