Tim, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your father. I can relate to the feelings that you are experiencing because I have also lost my father. Know that with time the pain will not be as great. Focus on the good memories of your father & know that God does not make mistakes.

Timothy and family, death is never easy because of the sadness that fills our heart. Ask God to turn your tears of sorrow into tears of celebration. It is a blessing to be raised by a loving and kind father and grandfather. It is a blessing to have a spouse who loved and cherish each year with his wife. Most importantly, it is a blessing for one man to touch the lives of so many. Despite how cloudy the day may be God always sends rays of sunshine.
