I'm truly sorry for your loss. When I saw of his passing today, I was saddened. You all have my prayers. I can remember when I move back home from Las Vegas in 1978 and my father introduced us all. I've always known that you are my family, so his loss is no different to me. I pray that the warm memories that you have and the presence of the Holy Spirit help you heal from the loss of him. God bless you all.
