I can't say that I know exactly how you feel, however I can say that I do know what it is like to lose a beloved father. –And I found a measure of comfort in Psalm 27:10 which tells us: “In case my own father and my own mother did leave me, even God himself would take me up”. May you and your family rely upon Him and receive the comfort that you need during this time and grief and loss. My sincere condolences to each of you.

TO the children of Donald Allison When I must leave you for a little while- Please do not grieve and shed wild tears And hug your sorrow to you through the years,But stand out bravely with a gallant smile; And for my sake and in my name Live on and do all the things in life Feed not your loneliness on empty days But fill each waking hour in useful ways. Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near; And never, never be afraid to die, For I am waiting for you in the sky!

To my family,
What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories to beautiful to forget. God say you were getting tired so He put His arms around you and whispered, Come to Me. With tearful eyes we watched you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. May you find comfort in these words. Love each of you dearly..
