Jackie, I can only tell you on this date 3/24/12 that I know how you felt then and I know you are still missing him terribly today! It was a beautiful service and a testament to his life! I liked your Daddy. He kinda reminds me of Mama's spirit...always uplifting and happy! God bless you always!

Jackie, I am so sorry about your father. I wish we lived closer so we could be there for you and help you! Cancer is an awful disease and I know you and Pat had some very difficult days and nights recently! He is most definitely in a better place....out of pain and suffering! That is indeed a blessing and although you will miss him terribly, I know God will give you the strength you need for the days ahead! You are in our hearts and prayers! Steve & Debbie
