Dearest Julie,

We have all just returned from Hawaii, where we have taken my dad to join his beloved wife. There were 17 of us and we gave him a proper Hawaiian send off. I just wanted you to know that we all felt so very lucky that you became a part of our lives when you did. You helped us navigate our journey with knowledge and dignity. Your work with our family made a big difference both at the time we were experiencing losing our dad but also as a gift we can carry into the future.
