Mary, You are in our thoughts and prayers. We pray that God will strenghten you and may he find a comforting place in your heart. Pop, will be missed as he was loved. He touched every one life in a special way. "For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning".
