Condolences
A few weeks ago, the world lost someone whom I have only received praise, appreciation for, and accolades of his kind heart and generous caring nature. There is not one person I have come in contact with who has stated otherwise. My father was a meaningful and present member of his tight-knit community. I will forever be grateful for the fun and laughter he brought into my life. May he rest in peace and shine his light in heaven brightly for all who will be missing his glow. Dad, thanks for the jokes and fun conversations. I miss them already. Glad you are pain free and seated beside all whom you love and have lost yourself. God bless your soul. Sending much love up to you.
