Re: Jr. (Rose's dad) has passed away

[Guest guest]

Dear Rose,

I am so happy that you were able to be there with your Dad when he passed

away.

I understand that you are relieved that he no longer has to suffer and is in

a better place.

It is so hard to believe that your twins are already that old, but your Dad

did have the pleasure of meeting them and loving them while he was here.

Thank you for all your help in the past with speech related issues, you have

always been a wealth of information. We will look forward to hearing from you

now and then.

May your precious memories sustain you and your family in times ahead.

Love,

Jean & Chrissie

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and you mom and your little baby girls.

I am so glad that your dad got to meet them and have them for the time he was

here. God bless you and your family. Love, Jean (Phoenix)

Rose,

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. I, like you, rejoice

that he is no longer a prisoner in his body. I watch my husband deal with

this prison daily.

I also want to thank you for the iformation that you provide about speech

and swallowing. We have used your techniques on several ocassions.

How are those twins doing? Keping you busy?

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Rose, I am so sorry to hear that your father has passed away. Having lost my

mother Joyce 1 1/2 years ago, I know that you shouldn't lose a parent ever.

The world is way too big.

It upset me a lot that when my kids leave this world, there will be no one

around who remembers my mother. But my husband pointed out that there are

other ways of someone still being here besides memories. There are traits

and habits and acts of kindness that are handed down that continue. So your

twins will know their grandfather in some important way. It is there.

I am thinking of you and your father. Debbie

May your father rest in peace.

my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
