Godspeed, Daddy.

I am so sorry for your loss. (((hugs))) and healing prayers going out to you at this terrible time.

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad in 1974 and my wonderful step-dad in 2001 and I still miss them both. Your dad sounds like a great man to have raised such a caring child. You are a credit to his memory.

Condolences to you and your family.

You will find your father, in yourself now. It's really quite amazing.

I lost my father in 2001, and on Christmas Eve, his birthday, we place a pumpkin pie on the dinner table and ring his antique school bell. We don't say a word.

RIP, sir. You were well loved and are dearly missed.

Lots of tears here. I am so very sorry. 66 or 82, it doesn't matter, it will always be too soon. You and your family are in my thoughts.

You will find your father, in yourself now. It's really quite amazing.

I have found this to be true as well.
