Not sure what to say?





Jereme, very sorry to hear of your dad's unexpected passing. Words are difficult to come by when a loved one is taken so suddenly from us. The only rationale is that God must have had a need for him to take him from our physical world. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers in this time of sorrow. May your father rest in peace.
