I'm so sorry, Rich.

Rich, I'm so sorry. Perhaps you can winter sow something known for its adaptability in his honor?

Thinking of you.

Rich, I'm so sorry. It's so hard to let go of the old folks in our lives, I'm sure you'll miss him always. Please take some comfort in knowing he is beyond the reach of this terrible illness - my neighbor lost her mother to ALS a few years ago and it's a particularly difficult disease. I extend my sincere sympathy to you and your family.

I'm sorry for your loss.
Blessings for you and your family.
Bonnie

I am so sorry for your loss. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Rich, I'm so sorry for your loss. Sending prayers and comforting thoughts your way.

I lost my dad in 2005 and discovered winter sowing that winter. My dad loved to grow things from seed so winter sowing is a way for me to remember and connect to him.

Rich
It always a very bad time when we lose our parents.
No words can sooth the pain. He is now in a better place.
My thoughts are with you.

Ron,

Thank you for sharing about the loss of your Dad. My father passed away suddenly a couple of months ago, and I am still dealing grieving, so I know how much it means to have the thoughts and prayers of those you are close to.

I will add you to my prayer list.

Bonnie

Rich, I'm so sorry for your loss. My condolences to you, your family, and all who knew and loved your father.

God bless,
Dee

So very sorry for your loss, Rich.
My thoughts are with you.

Rich, my prayers are for, may God bless and keep you in peace.

Rich,

I am so sorry for the loss of your father..Big Hug to you from WI ....Barb

Rich, I too don't "know" you but know the loss of a parent.

That is what led me to gardening and I feel my mother with me doing anything that brings something of beauty to life.

My deepest condolences to you and your family.

It's very hard but we can't change it. I hold tight (probably too tight) to my Dad. When they're of the "very good guy" kind it's hard to think of life without them.

Hang in there and may you find solace in things that bring joy into your life.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I've lost both my folks, Pop has been gone nearly twenty years and Mom over ten. There is recovery, there will be bad days for you in the next few years, but over time the tears and agony seem to come less and not hurt so deeply, you recover quicker from the wound of emptiness.

Planting a memorial garden or tree and/or making truly beneficial donations in your father's name will help fill a lot of the void.

So sorry to hear about your dad. Know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. --Laura

My deepest condolences to you and your family Rich.

Alberta

Rich, I'm saying a prayer for your family. Nikki

Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts and prayers. Yesterday the military played taps at the funeral and presented me with a folded American flag. Dad served in the army and earned a purple heart in WWII, the presentation was so moving. Thank you again and may good health and peace be with you and your families.

I am sorry for your loss and hope that fond memories bring peace in your heart.

Rich - My heart goes out to you and your family - I am so sorry for your Dad's passing......

Love, Carrie
