To Linda and famly, my deepest sympathy for your loss. Dad's journey on this earth has ended. His departing time was a little stressful for you, and family but it gave you time to reminis and say goodbys this time was yours and you will appreciate it when you'll continue your lives. We all face this situation in our lives and this time helps us to prepare and face our own leaving from this material earth.
