I'm so sorry for your and Michael's loss, and I'm grateful for all the things you've told us about who Michael's father was. I hope your travels are smooth and you can be a comfort to each other.
He was a good man, and he raised a fine son. He's been a really good father-in-law to you, and I know this loss is going to be tough for all of you.
My deepest condolences to you, and to Michael, and to the children. I wish you all uncomplicated travel, funeral services that are meaningful and as free of drama as such things can be, and the time and space you'll need to absorb the magnitude of this. If there's anything I can do to help, do please ask.
