A very sad Sunday. My dad died this afternoon. Still too much for me to contemplate,too many raw feelings, and all I want to do is pick up the phone and call him. He is always the one I call when bad things happen. Headed back to Louisiana soon...home will feel so different without him there.Headed Home

I am so sorry for your loss.
Your father was a wonderful, inspired man who commanded the respect of all who met him. He was an exceptional teacher and a most accomplished artist. He will be sadly missed by everyone who had the good fortunte to have spent some time in his presence.
Please accept my sincere condolences at this time.
Yor and your family are in my prayers.

Lucia, my heart just skipped a beat. I am so sorry. May your family find peace,solace, and compassion among friends and family.
I am so very sorry. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Oh Lucia, I am so sorry. I have no idea how hard this must be for you, since I haven't had to walk this road yet (and hopefully won't for a long long time). But my thoughts and prayers are going out to you and your family.
Dear Lucia, we are very sorry for your loss and since we know no words which can ease pain like this, we send you a big hug with all of our love.
Oh Lucia, I'm so sorry to hear this. I will say a prayer for you and your family for strength and understanding.

Lucia,
I'm so very sorry for your sorrow. Thank you for giving me a glimpse into his amazing life and sharing your family's loving and graceful support of his last days. Blessings to you all.
I did not want to see this post, and was honestly believing for him to recover.
I wish my words could express how sorry I am for the deep pain this brings and the horrible loss you must feel. You seem a much better writer than I, because your incredible words have painted a lovely image of your father over a number of posts. Highlighting his strength, intelligence, and amazing creative talents. My mother died 8 years ago to breast cancer at far too young an age. Regardless of age, it always seems too young, doesn't it?, when you say goodbye to someone you love.
Lucia, I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with all you guys. Your dad seems like the most amazing person, I wish we could have met him. Luckily a lot of him lives on in you!
Lucia,
We are so very sorry for your loss. I can see that your dad was precious to you and the family in so many ways. Remember as long as you remember him, he is always with you.

Lucia,
I am so, so sorry. Thinking of you in these very difficult days. Your dad must have been a remarkable man (He certainly has a remarkable daughter!).
Love,
Laurie
That picture is stunning - how fitting. My heart is breaking for you - I am so, so sorry. I know he must have been a remarkable man to be so very loved. My thoughts are with you - please let me know if I can help in any way.
I am so sorry to hear this news. Your family will be in our thoughts. Your father sounded like an amazing man & I know his spirit will live on through you. Remember all the good times you shared with him and all the laughs I can only imagine you guys had.
I'll have a drink for him tonight...
Lucia, there are no words and yet so many at the same time. Simply said, I am so so very sorry.
It is clear you have a bright and strong connection with your father and always will. I am thinking of you, and your mom, and your entire family.
A Hug, Nisha
Lucia -- I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.
Lucia,
Please accept our condolences and prayers for your family. Know that we are here for you when you're up for it.
Always,

Lucia, I've been holding my breath hoping this post would never come. You are so fortunate to have had such an inspiration in your life. And this is what you will be to your own children. My father died when I was 18. When I was 16 though he took a huge chance and changed his life from that of an Engineer to attend Culinary School and then open a B&B with my mother. Unfortunately he passed away only months before it opened. But, because of him I always think, "it is never too late to take a chance." And I always try everything on my plate! I never met your father, but your creative spirit shines so bright there must be a big part of him in you. Thank you for sharing it with all of us. -- K
So, so sorry, Lucia. He sounded like such a special person. Take care of yourself during this difficult time.
oh Lucia, I am so so sorry. I can tell he was such a huge part of your family, always involved and there for you guys. My heart just dropped when I read this, hoping instead to read that he was getting better. I know I don't live right around the corner, but we are close and if you need anything please let me know.
Lucia,
We all know what a precious, delightful, intelligent, man Elmore was. He loved life and lived it to the fullest. He loved his family and the beauty of the earth. He'll be missed, but you must always remember all of the wonderful times, quiet moments together, laughter with his grandchildren, his love for Mary and all of you. Our deepest sympathy. We loved him too. Diana, Larry and Jay
I am deeply saddened by and sorry for your loss. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Take care of yourself.
