My heartfelt condolences go out to the children (Yalanda, Veronica, Robert, Mark and Jonathan) for the passing of your father. There are no words that can heal the pain of losing a parent but my prayer is that each of you will find some peace in your hearts during this time.

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his Saints Psalms 116:15
Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace. Psalms 37:37 Continue to be thankful and stay focused on the Presence and Promises of God
You all have my condolences May God continue to shower you with His Love and Presence.
