With deepest sympathy from our family to you and your family, your father will be missed dearly for he was a great man, not only a man of God, but the backbone of the family. He was a great, great man, and did a wonderful job with putting down my wood floors,and we both know he did all the work! Just keep the faith and hold to God's unchanging hand.
