My Dad

Today at 11:10am, my father's body passed away. He lived his life with God and is closer to Him now than ever. Thank you all for your prayers, they have been answered with blessings during a most difficult time. My Dad was at home with my Mom and me and my sister and went in peace. May God be with us all.
