Randy and Family, I know it is not easy to lose a loved one and the only true healing is time, as time will heal your pain. The good news is you have so many memories built up and to share. Share those memories with each other and comfort each other in this time of sadness. I appreciate your fathers service to his Country and for his bravery and he lived a good life and is now at rest and will be watching over you all. I pray for your families comfort and I am sorry for your loss. Sorry, I could not be there in person, but know you are in my prayers for comfort.
