My beloved father passed away on Wednesday, May 9th. Although I am not usually at a loss for words, they are in short supply at this time. Hopefully, I’ll find them again soon. Though I’m sure many of you are rightly suspicious wordiness on my part will come sooner rather than later. 
I plan to be away from my blog for a few days to mourn my father - a man a dear friend so aptly described here:
Your father takes with him what is most precious in life, the deep and unconditional love of his family. My deepest, heartfelt sympathy.
Very sorry for your loss. Looking forward to your return.
I’m so sorry about your loss. Praying for you a your family.

My thoughts & prayers to you and your family at this sad time.
My thoughts are with you…
I was only just starting to get to know your Dad. What I do kow about him was that he was, as said above, ‘a grand southern gentleman.’ There are sadly not many who can fit that particular profile. He was adored by you and your children as well as many others and he will be missed for a very long time. The Good Lord provided you with a special gift with Callum. Whenever you think about your Dad and start to miss him, just look to Callum and you will see your father’s smile. I love you and yours. God bless.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Sending big hugs and prayers your way.
Do what feels right for you, when it feels right for you and allow yourself what you need as you cope with practical arrangments, your grief and the grief of others who also love your dad and mourn his passing. If you need something ask. People, neuro-typical or neuro-diverse, still need clues as they seek to do the right thing at the right time. Most of all remember that as you give to others, they can give back to you - if you let them.
Mrs. Merryday, I am sorry for your loss. May his soul rest in peace and remember that he is watching you from above…
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I’m SO so very sorry.
With love for you, your family, and all who miss him. Remember the good things.
Much love to you and your family. I am sorry for your deep loss. May sunshine embrace you.
So sorry for your loss. Do take care. Praying for you.
I am so, so, so sorry. My husband lost his father this year & I can only imagine his inner grief, knowing how awful it was for me. I will say to you what I say to all my friends who have lost someone they love - I hope you see your father in wonderful, sweet dreams & it gives you comfort.
Leigh, I have thought of you and your family often over the past few weeks… I was waiting for the right words to come… but as is often the case… there are no right words.
I am so sorry for the loss of your wonderful father. You are fortunate to have had such a marvelous and supportive relationship… I had shared your post about him with a friend of mine whose grandson had been struggling with serious health and developmental issues - as a perfect example of how she might support her daughter and grandson.
Your dad was amazing… and his response and support of you demonstrated such trust and faith in you. He must have been very proud to have you as his daughter.
Hugs and sympathy…
Leah
