So very very sorry for your loss. I remember your Dad well from my Lakewood Ladies days.. Please give your Mom a hug for me and tell her how sorry I am to hear of your Dad passing. Prayers for you and family to heal from your loss and remember the wonderful times you had together.

Thinking of your family and praying so much. I know this kind of broken heart and it is heart wrenching! Praying the Lord wraps His loving arms around your family and that you would know how many people love you. Your family is precious!!!
