Mike; I was very concerned about you and your father when we discussed his condition. I'm sorry to hear of his passing. Most people will say Christmas is the worst time of year to have a loved one pass away. However, this is the month we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. I’m not a church going person, but I would imagine heaven is a great place to be anytime, but especially during this time of year. If your father was anything like you I’m sure he’s enjoying making new friends and reuniting with old friends and family.
