Susan, I am so sorry to hear the passing of your father. God will be there for you and your family to embrace you all in this moment. I know it's going to be difficult but I know you are a truly a strong person. Even though your heart is broken GOD will take care of you. He will carry you through. Praise HIS name. He is resting in the LORD's arms with your mom and they are both smiling down with love at you and your family. I will pray for extra strength for the family.

I will remember your Dad as he played on the keyboard at Ashely's wedding. He had been itching to do it all night. I was fascinated to see him play-not just with his fingers, but his whole arms were in motion, and it was beautiful.
