Dear Heather, I wanted to take the time to write to you today, to express my sympathy for the loss of your husband Paul. Like you, my life has been touched by the untimely death of a loved one. My friends and family were a great comfort, but what helped me to cope was reflecting on the Bible's hope of seeing my loved one again, in what the Bible calls the Resurrection Hope". When all our dear friends and family that have passed away, will be brought back to life. Here are just a couple of scriptures in the Bible which describe this hope. Isaiah 25:8 "He (God) will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces".... John 5:28 "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice (the voice of Jesus) and come out". I sincerely wish all the best for you and your family at this time. Sincerely, One of Jehovah's Witnesses"

Dad yesterday we celebrated Father's Day it was strange to have it without you there, but we know you where there in all our hearts & thoughts. We all miss you so very much. I didn't think this would be so hard to be without you, we knew it would happen one day but not just yet, we still needed to ask you questions or advice about things. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY all my love forever your daughter Margaret.

Well Dad tomorrow is Father's Day it will be very hard to get through the day without a few tears from all of us. I miss you so much, so many times I have thought I'll have to ask Dad that, he will know". You taught us so much I just wish we paid a bit more attention to some things...so many times I have thought now Dad told me or showed me this I should remember. I guess we never thought that you were going to leave us. Happy Father's Day love from your daughter Susan."

Dad was a good man, a wonderful husband to my mother, gentle and kind, a sensitive and understanding friend to his friends and a loving father to my sisters and I. Dad was a modest regular guy, but brilliant without arrogance, possessing a rare mixture of practicality, intelligence and imagination. His passing leaves a hole in my world that is deep and wide.
