All the memories we have of your father are of a cheerful man with a charming sense of humor. He will now sit in Heaven watching over his legacy of Godly families which multiply his wisdom, charity and all the other good things you remember of him. Know peace in the thought that one day, you will join him in the flesh in God's promised land of Heaven. Until then, we mourn with you.
