Jerianne,
I can't tell you how sad I was when I heard the news of your father's passing. Please know that you are in my thoughts (and those of many other's from BTM). I am so thankful that you were able to spend so much time with your Dad during the last few months. I only wish it could have been longer. Take comfort in your memories and the joyful times you got to share together with your Dad and your son. I'm sure he's looking down on you all and feeling very proud to be your Dad.
Much love and deepest sympathy,
Christy
