Bud, Moondog aka Eddie ;) and Family,
My heart breaks for you. Too soon our dads are gone. There is never an easy time. I could tell you that time heals, however, it doesn't, I was driving home from work last week and tears just starting falling.. I so miss daddy, every day! BUT!!! the memories of a great father, man, and friend, bring the smiles back... and that is exactly what I pray that you boys do... clutch to the memories, the laughs, the childhood smiles...
I am praying for a complete peace of mind, comfort that can only come from God, and warm embraces !
Hugs, love and prayers from all of us here in Oklahoma!
