Debbie, so sorry for your loss. I hope you can take comfort in all the wonderful memories you have of your father. Praying for you and your family.
I remember that I always liked your father, I remember tooling around in that go kart in your backyard. He was a lot of fun. I am very sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry, Debbie. It is never easy to lose someone, especially a parent. Love you.
