To all of the family I am sorry to hear the news, as I am sorry I didn't have the chance to get to know him after our Dad's passing so many years ago. It is sad that we let "Life" get in the way of doing so many things that we should take the time to do. I hope that in this time of grief that the only comfort we can have is in the fact that we can see him again. And to know that he is able to see our Dad again. Hope all of the family is doing well and that God's provides the comfort in these times that only he can do.
