In the tapestry of my life, Dad will always be a golden thread. He protected me, provided for me, & loved me unconditionally no matter what. He tried his best & worked hard. He also knew how to play & have fun. He lived a good life & now he is resting with God until we meet again. I will miss him so very much.
Very sorry for your loss. Much love to you and Doug and all of your family. Lean on God and he will pull you through this difficult time.
My heart felt condolences for your loss. My prayers are for the family in this difficult time.
