Dad, I have so much I want to say, but I guess the most important thing is, we always told each other that we loved each other while you were here and could hear it. Now that you're gone, every time the phone rings, I'll have to remind myself it's not you. I don't know how long it's going to take to get over that. I know you were suffering and in pain and now at peace. You were one of the most devoted Christians I've ever known. So grateful you taught all 4 of us about God. I'm going to miss you terribly, life will never be the same. I love you Dad, and I know the Angels are rejoicing and welcoming you home. Love you and miss you already, Cathy
