Ruth, Heather and the entire family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time.
I was fortunate enough to spend my days with your Dad at Oasis.
Two weeks ago, upon meeting Lloyd we had a chance to chat and we discovered that he knew my Dad as a child and he was friends with my grandparents. On my weekly clean days he always had a kind word or compliment for me and while I cleaned his room he shared with me memories of my loved ones. I always looked forward to popping my head in to say hello and see if he needed anything. Our lovely chats are a wonderful memory I have of a kind hearted man. He reminded me of all the loved ones I am blessed with in my life, and all the wonderful memories I have of the ones I miss.
Although it was a short time, I am grateful I had an opportunity to meet your wonderful and loving husband and father. Please find comfort in memories and stories you have of your amazing Husband and Father, he will be missed dearly. Thinking of you at this very difficult time.
Sincerely,
Bev Dayman
