I am so sorry for your loss. The pain of losing your father is like no other. My prayers are with you all.

Here is a poem for you all:
IN OUR HEARTS
We thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday.
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence.
We often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories.
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake.
With which we'll never part.
God has you in his keeping.
We have you in our heart.
