There are no words that can comfort the loss of a dad, but I read the most beautiful card...it had stars on the front of the card and on the inside it said...When you look up at the stars think of them as front porch lights God has turned on to welcome your love one Home...Beautiful thought to think your dad is now Home. Our thoughts and prayers and hugs are with you all! Love, Al and Joyce
