  • I’ve made a donation to the ACS in her memory. I think that might be the best way to honor her.

  • Thank you! That was very sweet (and entirely unnecessary). We appreciate it!

  • I am sorry to read of your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family.

  • John Hutchison

    I’m so sorry, Kevin.  I know what it’s like to lose a parent.  If there’s anything I can do, give me a call.

  • Kevin, sorry to hear that. May God give you and your family peace. Blessings, Dave

  • So sorry for your loss.  My thoughts, prayers, and condolences are with you and your dad.  As John said, if there’s anything *I* can do, give me a call also.

  • My sincerest condolences to you, Kevin.
    My mother died 5 years ago and I still think about her every day in fleeting moments that pop up out of nowhere. Same with my father, who passed a few years before her. I suspect it will be the same for you. In that way, those we love never really leave us.

  • How are you two doing by now? Settling back in at home?
    You both know, I’m sure, how awful last summer was for my family and me … ending with my dad’s death in September. I know the circumstances were completely different, but still, the loss of a parent is awful. My grief alternated with anger, most of the time, and once I got back home the sadness of it all rolled over me in waves, and I’ve heard from friends that this is rather common. Having so many things going on in ordinary life around here helped me get on with things … and to be thankful that my dad, who had led an amazing life, was at peace.
    Condolences, again and again, Kevin.

  • It is so sad to find out Louise has passed away. We were very close friends growing up and I have been trying to find her on the Internet. Condolences to the family.
