My thoughts and prayers to the Willis family as they mourn the loss of a great man. Shanah on many occasions had expressed how close she was to her Dad and that he was a wonderful Father. Try to celebrate his life, not mourn his death. This will prove to be challenging as the days go by. Embrace family during this rough time.
