David,
There are no words to express my sorrow for your family. I do know that you are a very close family and will lean on each other during this time and days to come. May the Good Lord comfort all of you during this period.

To Becky Wright and family members...
My heart and spirit are heavy for you during this time. I pray that God's unwavering peace and gentle touch will give you continued strength as you remember your precious father. Lean on the sweet memories of him and on each other during this time. I rejoice in knowing he is with our loving Father in Heaven...at peace and rejoicing!
Becky, though I did not know your dad, I know he was a wonderful, kind, funny and caring man because you are his daughter and you possess all those beautiful qualities and more.
I care for you and your beautiful family and I am a phone call away, my friend.
Peace be with you and those who love your wonderful father.
