Colleen and Family…so sorry to hear about your dad…wish I could be there today but unfortunately I have a family funeral in Virdon. My thoughts and prayers are with you especially today. Draw comfort from your faith knowing that your mom and dad are now back together. I know that was huge for me when my dad passed…he was so sad and lonely without my mom…now they are together for eternity. Love to all of you.
