Karen, and Karla, my love and heartfelt condolences on your loss. It seems tragic now, but may be your not being able to go the his service in Ohio is for the best: you will remember him in life, not in death. A blessing he is no longer in pain. - Micke

My father died on this same date,May 28. It has been a few years ago for me. It does get easier with time. I misunderstood that it had just happened. So very sorry- I am sure he was a wonderful man.

My wholehearted sympathy goes out to you both, sweet friends. I know, all too well, that even if the physical separation is expected, even if we are conscious that it will come as liberation from a great and, sometimes, long suffering, we are never quite prepared when it finally happens – and the wait itself can cause us great anguish, for we can’t help dreading “that” phone call… which you and your sister have just received. However, this is not the end – it is just the closing of a cycle of transformation that begins when we are born, and will be followed by other cycles. So, take your time to grieve – to grieve at your own pace, and through whatever personal forms of expression in which you may find solace – and you will gradually feel the weight of the loss being lifted from your spirit, as it is replaced by the warm glow, gentle yet vibrant… of a constantly evolving celebration of Life and Love – for his Energy, his Light, is and will always be with you, around you, and IN you.
Loving {{{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} from your friend across the ocean, and yet always close,

With all my heart and prayers I am with you to offer the little consolation to that tremendous lost. Good fathers, depite what we hear, are hard to come, and seems that yours, wasn't thinking too much on himself in those last moments but to express his love.
Peace.

How sad. Perhaps they could tape the funeral so at least you two can see it afterwards and write to those who were in attendance. I didn't go to my father's funeral last year because I had just had a long vacation in the States 2 months before he died.

I truly wish there was a way I could get you home to Ohio...I looked at my finances & such and thought, "could I drive down and drive you home?"

But to be honest, I am so very sorry for your loss & my inability to help two dear friends attend their fathers funeral...

You both are in my prayers and meditation...

Very sincerely, Ed
