Debbie and Cindy , The grief of losing your previous father must be so difficult. He was a gentle spirited man who loved God. He ( and your mom) was a dear friend to my mother and father and they always enjoyed the meals shared and the wonderful conversations in these later years. I know your dad will be at your side as you move forward in life. Cherish the memories. May God bless his soul and comfort you and your mother during this difficult time.
