Brian & Shannon,
I was sadden to read that your father was called home. Be sure that prayers are offered for you and your family at this time. May GOD bless and comfort all of you.
For the Bible says. To be absent from the body, is to be present with the LORD. Take comfort in knowing that, and yes one day, you will see him again.
God bless,
David & Candace Frangis.
