Another email from an old friend

Another friend from high school sent me this email. Before my father died, she wrote me to tell me thatthat when her father was very ill and about to die, about 20 years ago, my dad would be over at their house often to check on him and make sure they were ok for the night. Partially because of this connection, this friend and her children had been saying Tehillim for my father for the weeks of his illness.

Dear Chavi,
I just got the e-mail from Yonit - no words to express how sad I feel and how upset the kids are (we have been saying tehillim for him and I shared with them stories of how wonderful a man he was). Chavi, I am so sorry, I know nothing I say can take away the intense grief and yearning, I know I miss him already, Kal Vechomer what you and you and your family must be going through.
I am going to miss his smile, his humor, his loving concern, warmth, constant kindness and chesed to my whole family, the world has definitely suffered a great loss.
I am thinking of you and your family and please always feel comfortable to write or call - I would love to hear more stories. I know that for me it was a cathartic experience to write as many memories as i could down because I was so afraid of forgetting, and something about writing them made me almost feel like my father Z"L was still there. My kids also love to hear all my stories and I see in them all the beautiful characteristics of my father - I am sure you see the same. I pray that your family can provide you some comfort at this time, and please remember I am thinking of you.
Love,
Nehama
