LeAnne: We may be your newest friends, but we've known you long enough to know you are a kind, loving, compationate and spiritual child of God. Children are a reflection of their parents. Your dad is smiling down from heaven knowing he and your mom got an A+ in parenting. Our love and prayers to you and your mother.

There is obviously no good time or way for someone whom you care about to die, and I am so sorry to hear about your father.

It is times like this that I most feel the physical distance that separates me from you and others of my friends. Please know that you, your mother and family are in my thoughts and prayers and it would be so much better if I could convey my condolences in person. But at the very least I want you to know that I am here and care! Please let me know if there is anything I can do.

Love,

Banny (aka Michelle :)
