Our heavenly Father understands our disappointment, suffering, pain, fear, and doubt. He is always there to encourage our hearts and help us understand that He’s sufficient for all of our needs. When I accepted this as an absolute truth in my life, I found that my worrying stopped. -Charles Stanley
I love my Father and what he was to me, my family, and everyone he had touched in his life. He was a true role model for my brother and I. He was my hero and will always be in my heart.
So very Sorry for the loss. Don was a Great Man and Father. He will be missed. May he Rest in Peace.
Sorry for your lost
Delila I am glad you posted about his heart condition because my first thought was how can some one run a red light and not be cited. Sorry for you loss.
I am so sorry for your loss.May he Rest In Peace.
Our Son-in-law was a wonderful man who was probably unconscious when he went through the light according to doctors. He had heart valve surgery about 2 months ago and was recently cleared to drive. He passed from heart failure although his injuries were very severe. He is survived by wife of 30 years and 2 sons. He was highly decorated veteran of Viet Nam for valor and courage. We will miss him tremendously.
