I am so sorry for your loss. I know your dad is in Heaven and has his mansion. I believe Jesus said,”Well done, my good and faithful servant.” He loved his children, his wife, and grandchildren. He was proud of all of you and he\u2019s still watching over you. It\u2019s not goodbye, it\u2019s until we meet again. I know no words can take the pain of losing him away, but know he lives on, in our hearts, your smiles, your lives. God bless you!!
