I know how much he meant to you—and what a strong presence he was in your life. It’s never easy to say goodbye to someone who held such a special place in the family, and I can only imagine the memories flooding your heart right now. He lived a full life, one marked by wisdom, love, and the kind of quiet strength that stays with people long after they’re gone. While words may feel small in moments like this, I want you to know I’m here for you—fully. For the tears, for the silence, for the memories… for all of it. May we find comfort in knowing he is at peace, and may his legacy continue to live on in the stories we tell, the values we hold, and the love we carry forward.
