Dear Lesia,
I'm very sorry hear of your father's passing. My sincerest condolences. I don't know if you remember me we worked at Works' Comp in the late 80's - early 90's. I was a temp and we became friends during our time there. I think of those times often and I do recall meeting your father once. He was very gracious. Having lost my father 5 years ago I know what you and your family are going through. It does get easier with time. Take care of yourself.
