I think the memorial idea sounds really lovely. It's something I will personally keep in the back of me mind for the future. Thank you for sharing that with me. It sounds like your family is really sticking together, and I'm glad to hear that. Having a good support system is soooo very important. I lived in New Port Richey on the west coast for 14 yrs. I'm pretty familiar with Orlando, as my place was the place to crash for trips to Disney.

If your Dad would be open to it, there are lots of services and activities geared for the elderly in Florida. When the shock is over, hopefully he will consider getting involved in his community with other like minded seniors who are in the same boat after losing a spouse. My Dad, whom I adored, was as stubborn as a goat and that would not have been an option, but Florida has so many resources. I hope in time he finds peace as his heart mends.
