My Dad

Last Wednesday, October 29th, 2008, I received the most horrible phone call of my life.  It was my mom telling me she had some bad news...my dad had passed away.  I was doing homework with the kids and getting ready to go to our ward trunk or treat party.  I was devastated to say the least.  I have never felt such sorrow and grief in my life.  My dad was a great man and I loved him dearly.   I will miss his phone calls in the middle of the day when mom was in the store; I will miss knowing he was just a phone call away when I needed some advice, his fun stories, his smile, and his sense of humor.  (to be continued...)

Kim, I was so sorry to hear...
There are no words that can express the pain you are feeling, nor to offer the comfort that you are needing.
I love you. I am sorry for the loss of your father, your dad. I wish that I could run over with a hug, and just hold your hand for a while...
Love to you and your family.
Tell the girls we are sad for them losing their Grandpa, and we will be praying.

Kim, I am sorry to hear that. He sounds like a wonderful man and Dad. I bet your mom is glad to have you to help comfort her. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
