My beloved dad...We will miss him so very, very much. He has always been a steady, guiding hand in my life that I could always reach for and hold onto when I needed it. He always knew just what to do in any situation and lived a life of steadfast faithfulness, integrity and kindness. I aspire everyday to be more like him and to make him proud. I love you so much, Daddy. Lise Marie

Please accept my condolences. Please know that the God of comfort feels your pain and sorrow. He actually provides something better to look forward to. Jeremiah 29:11 specifically tells us God wants to give us a peaceful "future and hope." He promises in the near future all the pain and sorrow you are experiencing about your loss will be gone and we will be able to enjoy perfect life with all our loved ones.*
