Dad….I still can’t believe you are gone. It seems like you are just visiting someone and will be home in a couple of days. The house is so quiet. I already miss you so much but I know you are in a much better place. I love you with all my heart and will see you again one day. Until then, ride high and give my grandmothers a hug for me.
Steph
Ryan and family, I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine the grief and sorrow you must be experiencing. I hope and pray that God comforts you in the days to follow and that you have memories of your dad that you may cherish forever. God bless you all.
You all know our hearts are broken but we’re so happy we will see him again with our Heavenly Father. We love yall and are praying for your comfort and peace.
Much love to the family. I know how much you all loved him. He is rejoicing, dancing, and experiencing full healing and restoration. He is where we all long to be. Praising our Lord to his fullest. Thunder from the heavens as he rides his Harley on the streets of gold.
John 14 KJV – Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God believe also in me. In my Fathers house are many MANSIONS if it were not so I would have told you I go to prepare a place for you and if I go to prepare a place for you I will receive you unto my self that where I am there you will be also. This scripture assures me that your Dad is in his mansion and will never have to worry and no more pain.
