Colleen,
I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. I know how you must feel because I too lost my Dad in May 02. It will be difficult for you at times, but you must believe that your Dad is watching over you from above and helping to keep you safe. You have another guardian angel to watch over you. Please know that I am keeping you and your family in my prayers.
