I am so very sorry for the loss of your father. He always reminds of being the America version of the best dad.
I am sure God welcomed him home with open arms and he looks with admiration on all of his daughters. His life will always be a blessing and he will live in all the memories of such a better time. I wish peace and strength for all of you.
Sorry I can't be there with you all. I miss you so much!
