Marleen, I am so sorry to hear of your father's passing. But think of the positive that he got to go home and enjoy the smell of spring air, to enjoy his favorite chair, to say a final grace and to say goodbye to all of his children and grandchildren before he went home to Glory. No more pain or suffering just peace. He will always be with you, not in body but in spirit.
I hope that these words will give you some type of peace but just know that I am here for you as you have been here for me during my trying times.
May God Bless and keep you in his heart. Your family is my family.
Love
