    Default My Dad

    I'd like to thank CG everyone else who sent well wishes, prayers and thoughts to me and my family during the time my Dad was ill.

    Dad passed away on Wed., just before Noon. We had his funeral today.

    I was totally taken back by how many people showed up for the funeral. The best we could figure, nearly 300 people filled that little church. They filled the sanctuary with standing room only, back through the hallway and into the fellowship hall. I had no idea how many people loved, or even knew, my Dad.

    My Dad was the kind of man who never wanted anyone to make a fuss over him. He told the family many times not to come over if they were going to be crying all over him. Somehow, I think he would be amazed, and probably a little pleased, at how many people turned out to pay their respects.

    Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers. You guys and this forum are the best!

    May God bring comfort to you and your family, Don. We are never quite ready no matter when a loved one passes. May your grief be met with wonderful memories that can never pass away.

    Sorry to hear of your father's passing OkieDon. With so many showing up for his funeral, it tells you how much he meant to people. Sometimes we just don't realize this.
