Sincere condolences to your family. I am so very sorry for your loss. May God provide the necessary peace and comfort to your family and friends during this difficult time. Please remember these words of encouragement from the Bible: “ Jesus plainly told her: “I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life.” —John 11:20-25.
I love you Daddy… You were a great man and I loved you with all my heart. You were always there for me, through the good and the bad. I wish I would have been there for you more at the end. I love you ????
