....my dad (TP) died peacefully in the early hours of yesterday morning with my mum, my brother, my sister and myself all by his side. He retained his stoicism and sense of humour until the end.
"Wherever you are dad, let the jazz be cool and the red wine be a damn good one."

To help you through this sad time, it would be easy to trot out the old platitude that his suffering is over and he's in no pain now.
Whilst true, it doesn't ease your loss much. We know that you've had a very hard time with the leadup to his passing, coming on top of many other worries and stresses for you.
As usual my thoughts are with the living and I do hope and pray that you can move onwards and upwards now - a bit like your dad actually.
I'm never good at knowing what to say in these circumstances, but I'm thinking of you. xx
