a thank you

today my brother's friends are throwing a benefit to honor my dad and to help my mom. my heart is overjoyed at their efforts and their support. i have felt the love of friends and family over the last few days that i cannot put into words..... the wonderful hugs, encouragement, love and support. i will be forever grateful, and i thank God for bringing us together during this time of sorrow. you are all in our prayers. thank you!
