To Carol and family,
Your dad was and always will be a very special person. He showed great love for Jehovah. When ever you had a problem he was the person to go to. He will always be in my heart and looking forward to seeing him in the resurrection. We all need to be strong and keep serving Jehovah so that we can welcome all our loved ones back.
Love,
