Terrance,
My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. I understand words can not express the loss that you have sufferred and I pray that one day you will find it in your heart to understand God makes no mistakes when bringing his angels back home. Just know that you have now gained a special angel looking down on you everyday!! If there's anything you need even just to talk I'm here because I realize losing a parents is a major void in your life because I left my father. God bless and please stay strong
