Joy, It's Aunt Teresa...I am so sorry for your loss I can only imagine your pain. He had to go through this for his gain. I am sure that the smile I see on this photo is the smile he has today- to have lived such a blessed life and to have been such a help in the lives of others- what love... God bless you and your family as He holds your Dad in His Arms.
