Our condolences on your dad passing. How wonderful that he lived such a rich life for 99years. Our parents were partners in crime working for All Hallows parish and community. They have so much of their time and talents. Their contributions are everlasting. God bless him as he joins those before him and Heaven is celebrating his arrival with so many who shared their lives serving all of us from All Hallows. God Bless and bring you solace during this time of grief.
