Hello John316,

I send my condolences and prayers for your family and your loss. I know what it's like to loose your dad, as I lost mine when I was twelve. So I grew up without my dad. My dad wasn't a Christian and we had a dysfunctional family, not very many good memories. But despite the kind of man he was, and how long he's been gone, I still find my self missing him an wishing he was still around. No matter who our dad is, or what he has done in his life, he is still dad. He was the man that God appointed to bring us into the world and God has a purpose for everything under heaven. I'm happy that God gave you to a good dad. Though, my dad was also good in his own way. I am also happy that my dad gave his life to Christ before he died.

Best wishes and God bless,

Thea

John317,
I am so sorry to hear this. I just found out now, while looking at the topics. Please forgive me for my late condolences. As I am typing, Norman gives his condolences as well. We really enjoyed reading one of the books he wrote that you gave us, and will cherish that book with his written signature on it. I remember when we seen you last year, you told us that he wanted to give that to us. We are glad we were able to meet you, and hope to be able to get together again one day. God Bless!

Sorry to hear it, but I rejoice with you for a life well lived.
