Marilyn, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Please know that we (cousins on list) are all here for you and although there is nothing that any of us can say to you that will make this easier to get thru for you, you have our support if you need us. We are your family and we all care very much about you. I know when I lost my mother a few months ago my Barrett cousins were such a support line for me and I am very grateful to all of them. When we lose someone we love so much and has been such a big part of who we have become in life, it is a hard burden to bear. But we have the memories in our hearts that will remain forever. Don't be afraid to reflect on those memories and keep them alive, even if it hurts at first. In time they become a great comfort. I do believe we all have guardian angels who watch over us and I am sure even though your father is no longer walking this earth beside you, he is still all around you and a part of you everyday and still with you. If you ever need to talk, cry, scream or just be silent with someone, please call me or write me, I will always be here for you. I will keep you in my prayers. Love you, Janet
