My thoughts and prayers are with all of you for your loss of your father. I knew him when we were both teenagers many years ago and as you children were growing up. It is comforting to know that essentially he has left one home for another home with God. The hope is that you will get to see each other in the future. All my love and prayers to all of you. Janie
