Life comes at you fast.......don't blink!!

Thursday I was celebrating the final step to finally having my own business after 4 long years of hard work.....Friday morning I awake to the news that my Father (a man in perfect health) passed away during the night without any onset of illness. Today I now understand the deepest meaning of the word "regrets". Well with that I must go for now, just a reminder, call your dad, while you still can!

Our condolences also. My mother passed away three and a half years ago, just 11 days after I had seen her at Christmas. Called my dad last week and will do so again in a few days. He lives in NM some 1600 miles away.

He will never be gone as long as you remember him.

Very sad news and my condolences to you and your family.

Not that it lessens your pain any, but passing in one's sleep is preferable to a long and painful death from illness.

My simple words cannot express my empathy for you.

God bless you and your family during most troublesome time.
