Annie, all I can think to write is sorry. I knew your dad was sick but I didn't know he passed. I'm sure he was an awesome man. He had to be to raise a great daughter like you. I'm sure you made him very proud. I'll keep you guys in my prayers. If you ever need to vent or just want to get out maybe we can do a girls day out & get some lunch & go shopping. Take care, Di~
Oh, Annie. I had no idea. I ache for you and your Mom and your whole family and wish I knew what to say to adequately express my love, concern and sympathy. May you be blessed and buoyed up as you face these tough days to come. I love you and will be praying fervently for you and yours.
Annie, I am thinking of you! I still remember how it brought tears to all our eyes when your dad walked you down the aisle. I'm so happy he got to meet Lydia! I loved how you put it, "See you when we get there"--I know you'll all be together again.

Annie- I am so sorry for your loss. I remember when we were younger and we would all hang out (the Gardners, April, Chris, and any other neighborhood kids). Your dad was always so nice to us. I honestly can't remember him ever being anything but nice. I know it must be hard for you right now, but it must be so nice for him to not be in any pain. If there is anything that I can do, please let me know. You will be in our prayers!!
