Rebecca Payne says
I am so sorry to hear about your fathers passing but, he is in Glory now. You and your family will be in my prayers.
Linda says
I am so very sorry about your father.
Dixie says
Dear Ann,
Sad indeed. Our prayers and heart-full love goes out to you and your family. You spoke so sweetly and lovingly of your father. A man who is remembered as loving, generous and kind must surely be resting in the arms of his Savior.
Take care and let not your heart be troubled.
Dixie
