Our sincerest condolences on such a tremendous loss. May God provide all the family with the strength and wisdom to continue helping each other during this very difficult time. Those we love are no longer by our side, but for ever will exist in our minds and hearts. A father is neither an anchor to hold us back, nor a sail to take us there, but a guiding light whose love shows us with the way.
