My dad was a hero. Even in his last breathe he tried to save his crew and turned help away for himself.

I am so sorry to hear of his passing away. My heart breaks for all of you. I am only a phone call away if you need anything or an ear to listen. As you know, sadly I have experience in loss and grief. He and Christina are together in Heaven.
Jeannie- your first baby. I think there was a reason they stopped after me though...
