Kimmy,
Our sincere and deepest sympathy. We can't begin to say how sorry we are for your loss. We didn't know that Mag was ill and our heart aches for you. Mag was such a beautiful person with a heart of gold. He was one of the funniest guys we knew. My old gambling buddy has gone home to his Heavenly Father and to be with his lovely wife. May your dad's memories keep you strong and may God's loving arms embrace you and bring you comfort. You are in our heart and prayers.
