John, you all have Loyd's and my deepest sympathy over your loss. Sometimes having something quick happen like this is hard on your family, but it was kinder to your dad. You're in our thoughts and prayers. Take care, Shari
John, I know the pain you are feeling, having just lost my mom at the start of this month. I know there's not anything I can say to remove the pain and make you and your family feel better. Try to remember the good times you had with your dad and cherish those memories. My thoughts and condolences go out to you and your family. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. Thanks, Chris 206.334.5220
John I know how you feel both my Parents are gone nothing can ease the hurt but prayers help and it looks like there are a lot of them coming your way. God Bless. Bob H.
I just said a prayer for you, your dad, and all of his loved ones Both of my parents have been close to death more than once in the last few years and I know I will lose them both before too long. I am dreading it. It will be like losing my anchor. I'm sure you feel the same, perhaps even more so, because of the unexpectedness. You have my condolences.
Sorry for your loss. I know it's hard to believe, but in time most of the pain will pass and you'll be left thinking more of the happy memories of him than of his passing. Nothing can help but time. My best to you and your family.
Well said, Ken. I was sitting here thinking how to respond and came to the same conclusion. I lost my Dad in November of 2005. I started chuckling about some of his interesting characteristics (like how messy his garage was). John, you will always miss him but each passing day gives you the confidence that you can "do this", that is, keep going. Without getting "spooky", it does seem like my Dad kind of lives on through me. I am keeping some of his projects going, and his stamp on my own projects is undeniable. Even my thought process and mannerisms often remind me of him. Plus, I'm still cleaning up all the stuff he left behind...:ball: Use this opportunity to decide how you want to live your life, so that it matters while you are here and even after you are not. Hang in there; you'll get through it... K
You and your family will be in our prayers as well.. The best thing you can do for your father is honor him by remembering him and the great times you shared together. Pat
