A call that you never want to get... your best friend leaving a message stating that her father has passed. To hear the hurt in her voice, it breaks me apart. What can you do to ease the pain of your friend. I am at a loss. Peter was such a great man and the the rock in their family. He is going to be missed.
So today I am taking the day off to try to help in any which was I can. What can I do? I can't bring Nellie's dad back or make her hurt go away. I feel so helpless. I hope that there is something that I can do that will help them in some way. I love you Nell and I am so sorry for your loss.

Renee-
I want to thank you so much for everything that you have done for me and my family these past days. You were there when I really needed you, I know there weren't any words to help with our pain and sadness, but just having my best friend by my side was a comfort. Thank you so much for speaking at my dads wake, that meant a lot to all of us, and I know my dad would have really gotten a kick out of remembering those stories! Thank you again Renee. We all love you! Nell
