Crikit,

I'm so very sorry about your Dad. Of course you and
your whole family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Re Smudge & Winter actually wittnessing the event,
I don't have any advice to console them, but think just
leaving a piece of your Dad's clothing laying around
where they can smell it might help them. Wishing you
all the best of luck!!! Liz & Buddy.
