:shock:

Man, I'm sorry to hear that. My Prayers & thoughts go out to You & Your Family.

I lost my Dad in 2008 so I know exactly what your going through... Me & Pops were very close & as the years went on we were probably more like Brothers & Best Buds than Father & Son.

Know that time will mellow the pain & the good memory's will always keep him close. Not a day goes by when I don't think about Dad, But now it's happy thoughts & good memories. To me he is still here but in the heart.

Again, My thoughts' & prayers to you & the family.

Sorry for your loss.
I lost my dad last year, you never really get over it, you just learn to deal with it. My dad was only 64 but was in ill health and so it wasn't unexpected.

Oh buddy, I am so sorry. I went through this in 1998 and it was terrible, but you will draw strength from the good memories. They don't leave you, and when you catch yourself in the future saying something he would have said, remember to smile. Praying for you.

My most sincere thoughts and condolences to you and your family. It is painful to be separated from those whom we hold so dear but it is helpful to think of our reunion in the Kingdom of Heaven! God bless you and yours and most of all, your father. May God hold you up during this time of mourning. My deepest sympathy to you.
