Your dad was such a good man. Never, did I witness, any kind of negativity come from him. So many of my childhood memories contain him and your mom. The fact that he went on the day he did (I don't mean this in any wrong way) only means it was fate. He missed your mom so much and she missed him. Two of the kindest people that ever inhabited this earth. I know him and my dad are reminiscing all the way back to when they were kids. You and your families have all my love.
