Chris so sorry for your loss if your dad. Thoughts and prayers r with you and your family. We r all thinking of you
My deepest condolences to the family. I hope you find comfort in our Heavenly Fathers promise for the future found in Isaiah 25:8. There he promises to “swallow up death forever” and to “wipe away the tears from ALL faces.” Yes, soon God will eliminate death forever and restore humans to a beautiful paradise earth, where we can all live forever! (Psalms 37:29) I hope these wonderful thoughts can bring you comfort during this extremely difficult time
Sending my deepest condolences on the passing of Cecil.
Your family is in my prayers. So sorry for your loss
