Long hard 24 hrs,, my Dad passed away an hour ago,

[cowpuc]

Just starting to feel up to being back online here and enjoying all the kind words - THANK YOU for all the condolences, prayers and thoughts after the passing of my Dad.. It means the world to Tippy and I and all of our family!!

Dads funeral was very hard and grief filled (after reading thru your responses I KNOW many of you can totally relate to this), yet knowing he was finally free from all the pain and suffering he had experienced the last few years it was strangely peaceful..

Besides having 7 children, my Father also had 32 Grand Kids and 32 Great Grand Kids (you read that correctly - weirdness runs in our family:big-grin-emoticon:)!! An interesting thing happened during the funeral - one of my nephews had to leave because his wife's water had broken and she was in the process of giving birth to Dads 33rd Great Grand Child - the Lord taketh away but he also giveth!!

 

Here is a link to my Dads Obituary,, at some point I am going to place this in the "In Memory Of" section as mentioned by Marcarl (hope I got that right Carl - I got a tired memory) but thought I would post it here too... Thanks you guys for putting up with me - all this seems to help in the grieving process..

Scott, I'm glad to see you are starting to feel up to things again.

 

I know it is a long road, but I am sure you will get there, please yell if you need an ear for a while or anything else.
