Bethany,

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your father. Losing a parent no matter the age is always difficult. Know that you took good care of him over the past few months with no regrets. You were a wonderful daughter to him. You can relax a bit to know that he is in peace now. You are in my thoughts and prayers. May he rest in peace and eternal light shine upon him.

Sincerely, Brenda

Beth, Tracy, Dave, Darryl and Mrs. Palana, I am so sad to hear of your loss. I have fond memories of your family outings that you included me in like the tall ships, hockey games, and especially your dad taking us to the driving range in Lincoln. I will miss him.

Frank, Sorry I couldn't be with you and John's family in person at his funeral. . I was with you in spirit. If there, I would've sought an opportunity to recite this poem by Linda Ellis. It's a favorite of mine.
It;s entitled: The Dash.

I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on his tombstone from the beginning...to the end.
He noted that first came the date of his birth and of the following date with tears, but he said what matter most of all was the dash between those years.
For the dash represents all the time that he spent alive on earth, and now only those who loved him know what that line is worth.
For it matters not, how much we own,.. the cars...the house...the cash.
What matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash.
So think about this long and hard; are there things you'd like to change?
For you never know how much time is left that can still be rearranged.
If we could just slow down enough to consider what's true and real and always try to understand the way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger and show appreciation more and love the people in our lives like we've never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect and more often wear a smile...remembering that this special dash might only last a little while.
So when your eulogy is being read with your life's actions to rehash, would you be proud of the things they say about how you spent your dash?

May God give you the awareness, Frank, to feel the love of your family and friends. And remember...despite this tragic loss, "you'll never walk alone."
