Joanna,
I know it is always tough losing those you love but your Dad is at peace and in the Lord's timing. You can take comfort in that you did all you could for him and was a great daughter. May our Savior fill that void as you and the family grieve your loss. If there is anything Nancy and I can do, please let us know!

My condolences to Bob's family. I have known Bob for many years when I worked at Eastern State Hospital. Bob did many good things for the maintenance Department there. He was a honest man and all that knew him liked him. May he rest in peace.
