Dear Melodie;
I am so sorry to hear of your father’s passing. You must know that your caring for him all this time was a difficult but genuine sacrifice on your part. It may seem hard now but in the end you will ultimately feel better about making your father’s life more bearable in these last few months.
Regrettably I am unable to attend the service for your father but will send a contribution in his name to the Arthritis Society. Please accept my sincere sympathies to you Mel, Shawn and the rest of your family.
Kindest regards,
Maryse

Melodie & Shawn:
It is hard when a parent passes; however, you both should take great joy at the closeness you had with Russ. I understand that both of you did an absolutly fabulous job in caring for him right up to the end. He must have been very proud of you.
