May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

It is hard to know what to say at this time, because your loss is so Great and because your father will be missed in so many ways, as Husband, Father, PaPa, Brother. Treasure the things you can remember and keep them tucked away in your heart. Memories are a gift to share, and your father share his whole life with his family. A friend always, Fran
