Eric and Karen,
Your family is in our prayers, as we pray that you find strength to endure in God's Word. From what I've read, I can see that your father lived a life dedicated to service for others. Now, God has called him to his rest, as we all look forward to that GREAT DAY, when THE LORD shall return to awaken those who are at rest. I love y'all.
