Frankie: I was very sad to hear of your father's passing. I have asked that Cardinal Roger Mahoney and the priests of Our Lady of Angels Cathedral here in Los Angeles, pray for your father and your family. I hope you find some comfort in knowing that he is in a better place and not suffering anymore. Take good care.
