To be absent from here is to be present with the Lord. There is never anything that anyone can say to you that feel right or to ease your sense of loss, but to be remembered is to live on in the hearts and minds of those whom lives you’ve touched. Take the love you have for your father and pass it on to your kids and theirs and know that you are in our hearts and prayers and as classmates and friends; we’ve got your back. Love, peace and blessings

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. We were certainly saddened by the news. We know as we get older that our time with our parents gets shorter; but I don't know that we are ever truly prepared for the loss. Our sympathy.
