Sorry to hear about your dad. I know how much you will miss him. I still miss my dad and he died in 1950. Your desciption of him was so beautiful and it showed how much you loved him. I remember how thrilled your parents were when your child was born. They were such special grandparents. May God bless you and the kid always. Love Rama

Nancy,
I am so sorry for your loss. I remember meeting your father at your Christmas Eve party a few years ago. I remember he was sitting on the sofa, and we visited a while. Your father had a good sense of humor. Your tribute to him and what he taught you is beautiful. I will be sure to read his obituary in Sunday’s Chronicle. If there is anything I can do to help you, please just ask.
Big hugs,
Dana

Great tribute. I’m sorry for your loss. He sounded like a wonderful person and the type of person the world could use more of.

Your words here were a lovely tribute, but more than this…. your ACTIONS over the last couple of decades were the real tribute. Only a few of us actually got to personally witness your countless hours dedicated to his care, comfort, safety, entertainment, companionship and advocacy . You took “treat others like you want to be treated” to a whole new level. If there is any comfort for you as you learn to live without your dad, it will be that you did ALL you could for him while he was alive.

Your father must have been so proud of you Nancy. And you can find comfort in knowing you and he had a beautiful relationship. He will be with you always.

Thank you for sharing him through your ponderings.

Nancy,

Your tribute to your Father is beautiful. You are so right that obituaries are not the place to properly share as you have done. You say that the highlight of his life is the birth of your son, but I think you are “prejudiced” if not too humble: I sense that you are the great light of his life. Thank you for taking the time to share your special relationship with your Father during this time. My prayers are with you, your family and your Father; may God’s perpetual light shine upon him.

Frank S.
