My family suffered the tragic loss of my father after
a long battle with cancer. He has been greatly missed for almost 16 years now. With each passing year,
we reflect on sweet memories shared with a man who helped shape so many lives by what he did and how he lived his life
with so much zeal and integrity. His faith in Jehovah God and His promises along with the love of his family who adored
him so much was what gave him the spirit to continue surviving despite the 10 years of pain he endured. He truly is
the one person in our lives who inspired us the most. How myself, along with my sister and her family, my brother and
mother wish he could be here to experience the joys we see unfolding in our lives. He is still so dearly missed!!
I have put my grief to "paper" as it has been a way of coping. It has been a way of dealing with many thoughts and feelings
felt not only by myself, but by my dear Mother who lost her lifelong companion and best friend and also for my Sister
Wanda and Brother Greg who also lost a beloved father and confidant.
