    My thoughts are with you and the girl's family, P_R.

    Props to you for being a stand-up guy and trying to do the right thing.

    Sorry to keep dragging this along, but I got a look at the obit we are going to run tomorrow.
    The girl's father is not anywhere in the thing. It's like he was never a part of her life, and he was. He may have been a horrible father, but he didn't abuse the girl.
    It's making me mad, cause you don't need to be like that. Nobody does.
    I guess I just don't understand that kind of hatred, and hope to never have to.

    Be there for him if you can. It's bad that a father cannot get a mention in there given those circumstances. I'm pretty sure my father would have been excluded too and, similar to this case, he may not have been a model father, but he never abused me. Never.

    You did all you could, and with caller ID he can likely see that you tried to get with him.
    You did exactly what you should have done.
