Wendi,

May the beautiful memories of time with your Dad forever live in your heart. I remember the times I would come back home to visit and see his wonderful smile and cheerfulness while working as a Sunday morning greeter or usher. I will miss that moment it was special. God will give you peace and mend you broken, grieving heart as time passes He will also provide you the strength and courage you need to continue your life's pathway. My sincere condolences to you, your siblings and the rest of your family.

Psalms 27:14. Wendy words can't express how I feel. Your father was so special to me. It's been a while since I last saw him but the memories of him will forever bring a smile to my face. He was a kind, loving and special person. We could sit in your living room or front steps for hours just talking. He would make me laugh. How he adored his baby girl. He had a way of making all who had the pleasure of knowing him feel so special and loved. I will miss him. I pray our LORD will put his loving arms around you and your family and give you the strenght you will need in the days to come. May the sweet and precious memories of "Mr. Quin" be of great comfort to you. I Love you my friend and I'm here for you.
