Girls, I know you are heartbroken and so am I. The Bible tells us in Matthew 5:4 this: Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Your sadness is my sadness as well. Healing takes time but it will come to you, I promise you that. Your Dad was so proud of both of you and loved you very much. He talked about you all the time. Stay close to family and friends during these hard times. That is the most important thing you can do. Stay strong and know that we are all thinking about you and keeping you in our prayers.
