Rita, I just wanted to express my sympathies to you and your family on the loss of your father. You may not remember me, as we were childhood friends over 30 years ago. I lived a couple doors down from Sherry and Sheila.
I sincerely hope that you and the rest of your family find solace in the fact that he is no longer in any distress, and that you can find some happiness in the wonderful memories that you made.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding
-Proverbs 3:5
Robert Wainman ( My Grandfather) was an amazing man with a big heart. He always knew how to make you smile. I pray my family will, trust in God with more than your feelings.
