It says in the Bible that “An honest father is a wonderful heritage”. I think the translation “honest” falls short, maybe there isn’t a big enough word in any language.

You have been blessed.

And I don’t believe your father is gone from you forever.

God keep you this time of sorrow.


"...if the gentlemen of Virginia shall send us a dozen of their sons, we would take great care in their education, instruct them in all we know, and make men of them." Canasatego 1744
