Diane Mesenbring says
Dana and Family, My sympathy to you in the loss of your dad. It is so hard to let go but I received a card that says it all: “When death claims the life of someone you love, hold tight to the outstretched hand of God with one hand and gently let go of your loved one with the other.” I refer to this when I feel sad so hope it helps you too. God’s blessings.
