Barb, Linda just told me the sad news. It's hard losing a parent, but hold on to the wonderful memories. They never die. Jacquie
ReplyDeleteYou fought the good fight my dad. You finished the race. You kept the faith with your last breath. All my love, Barbie
ReplyDeleteDad, I had to take some time. So much of you is a part of who I am -what I have become. So in many ways you are not far away at all. Precious memories of being your daughter fill my heart -they abide there along with knowing that our Heavenly Father dwells too in our hearts. God watches over us while we are apart from each other in this world. You gave us faith-the most precious of all gifts next to life. I will forever be grateful and honoring of you and your memory. I too, look forward to the resurrection where we will be reunited in Christ for all of eternity...I love you Daddy with all my heart, Cathy
