  3. Dear Lydia (and family)
    I cannot begin to express how very sorry I am at the passing of your Dad. I know how very close you were to him and the pain of losing a parent is unbearable. I know how I felt when I lost my father and I was much, much older than you. Please know how very much I care for you and will do whatever it may be that you need. You have always been such a wonderful young lady and that is a tribute to your upbringing by both your Dad and Mom. Love you much Lydia.
