Dear Father, Giver of all good gifts, healer of broken hearts, we ask for Thy comforting love now. Give them the consolation to know that death is not the end, but that his Spirit has discarded the garment used on earth, the glorified robes of eternity will be given to your beloved and that we, too, shall wear such garments when we have laid down our mortal body. Give them hope and an assurance that we shall meet where there is no parting, no sickness, and no more sorrow. Bless them, keep them, and Thine be the glory forever. Amen.

Dad, I was just thinking and missing you. I know you are in a better place now. The girls miss their paw-paw, and they are thinking of you as well. You take care and we will see you tomorrow.
