Dad What I'd give if i could say"Hello Dad" in the same old way. to hear his voice and see his smile, to sit with him and chat for a while. So if your father is still here, cherish him with care, for you'll never know the heartache until you see his empty chair!!

My deepest condolences to family and friends. Losing a loved one is never easy. However, the Bible offers us a wonderful hope in that we will see these precious ones again soon. John 5:28: "... all those in the memorial tomb will hear his voice and come out ". Psalm 37:29 "The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it". May the God of all comfort strengthen you during this difficult time. With deepest sympathy and heartfelt prayers.
