J.J. & Family,
I was sorry to hear of your dad passing. I can remember riding the bus up to his shop everyday and he would be smiling and waving after we dropped you off. I know it isn't easy to lose someone you care about so much but have faith in our Lord and he will make sense of things to you and your family. My heart goes out to you and I will keep you in my prayers. Amanda
