    Yes, he certainly has.

    How fitting after Easter has just come and gone - the sun is warming the earth, the flowers are waking up, trees budding. Its a new beginning as well.
    Its apparent that you loved your dad very much, and that you also trusted all of us enough to share how you felt in your journey to sending him home.

    Thanks. I will keep you and yours in my thoughts and prayers, John.

    John, really sorry to hear this. Its a sad time to lose one of your parents. Both of mine are gone, and have been for quite some time. The pain eases with time. Take care and think of the good times you had together. Terry

    Be very thankful we all have a Savior who rose on Easter morning long ago waiting to greet each one of us as we return back to him. My father and mother both have moved on to their eternal life with Jesus a long time ago, but you will never forget them, don't even try. Cherish the memories and continue to live your life here on earth, no matter how short or long it will be. We'll all be together someday. Wow, just think what a gathering that will be.

    John,

    I am so sorry for your loss. Hopefully he did not suffer at length. I know he was very dear to you and you only wanted the best for him. Hopefully he was able to enjoy some of his last months as we had talked about.

    All our prayers for you and your family.
    Just recently lost an old friend of many many years that was almost as close as my folks.

    I understand this pain all too well.

    All our best and our deepest sympathies.
