We are really sorry for your loss. We know how close you were to your father and what an influence he had on your life. Praying for your family and rejoicing as he is in heaven with your sweet mother..
Praying for your family. So sorry for the loss of your parents so close together. I remember all the prayers we prayed for John so many years ago when he battled cancer, and then the Lord gave him so many more years with Lydia. You are so blessed to have had such great parents. May the Lord be your strength and peace in the days ahead. May the body of Christ surround you with support in tangible loving ways. You are loved and never alone.
