I am very sorry to hear of your loss, Madame. My condolences to you and your family.

Thank you everyone for your very kind, thoughtful messages.
Dad was a very complex, dominant and hard task master who took no prisoners. There are some whose paths he crossed who won't miss him but there are others who will.
Personally, I believe that he has been spared an uncomfortable old age, as he had been blind for the last thirty years and was quite deaf. Divorced for 40 years, his independent spirit meant that he would not have well endured anyone else caring for him. So, in that sense, it is better that he died suddenly.
Dad was not a religious man so his final farewell will be simple, next Monday. Today I meet with my three sisters to make the arrangements. You can see my sisters on the post a few days' back.
Again, thank you everyone. My sisters and I appreciate your comments very much.

Dear Madame Benaut. I am sorry to hear of your loss. I am sure you will always have fond memories of a father whom you describe as "complex." Your descriptuon reminded me of my own father and so pictures and emotions flood the self.

You and Monsieur Benaut have had a tough couple of months this year.

Please accept my deepest condolences. My thoughts are with you and Monsieur.

Sorry that I'm arriving late and my deepest sympathy gets to you after the funeral.

What a very handsome man (natural, with a French grandmother!). I hope he had a peaceful death.
Thinking of you.

Hier, j'ai assisté au service funèbre de mon beau-père, avec Mme. Il a eu une crise cardiaque le jeudi passé, et il est mort soudainement.
Oui, vous êtes correct.
Je vous remercie de vos pensées gentilles et je suis sûr que Mme. est reconnaissante également.
