Dave and Misty, Carolyn and I wanted to express our condolences at this difficult time. We are so sorry to hear about your dad. Please extend our deepest sympathy to your mom as well.

Thinking back, I can picture your dad relaxing in the living room, listening to classic country music. I'm sure he's in a better place now, and the country music is still playing...

Let us know if there is anything we can do.
