Peace, blessings and prayers to you, Laura, I'm so sorry to hear of you losing your dad. I have almost lost mine a number of times this year, and I keep bracing. I know nothing I say can relieve the heartache, and those holes never fill, but I pray with time that you find comfort knowing he is in a better place, and that it's just a matter of time before you'll see him again. May angels wings carry him peacefully to slumber. Much love and respect, my friend. <3

Dear Laura... losing a parent is so difficult. I'm glad you have your faith to help you during this time. There is a great reunion day coming. My condolences to you and the family, dear. Isaiah 57: 1 & 2 was a comfort to me when my Mama died. May it comfort your heart as well. Sending love
