Hi zak,
I´m sorry for the loss of your dad.
I´m grateful to still have both my parents with me. My older brother tragically passed away in December of 2010. I know how much it hurts to lose a loved one but not a parent.
God Bless you and your family!
Love,
Amparo Cecilia Weller

My deepest sympathies & condolences to Mr.Bagans family & friends. I'm truly sorry for the loss you are facing. I've lost many many people, even a little brother, one thing you know is there's a new guardian angel on your side. My brother comes from time to time just to remind me he's protecting me. I think you'll eventually have similar visits. Hold on to as many memories as you can, perhaps even journal them. As time has gone on I've been losing some of my baby bro. Remember always, and Larry will live on in you. Rest In Peace Sir.
