Sherry, you and your family are in thoughts and prayers of so many. As I read about your Dad, I learned about his honor, his charity of giving to others, and service to God. Then I realized it was your Dad who led you by his examples. Keep your arms around each other, and know he is in the arms of the One who brought us all to the wonderful dance of life.....celebrate and rejoice in his dance. Take good care.

Sherry and family, My prayers are with you. I wish I could be there to celebrate your dad's homecoming to be with the Lord, but we are in training tomorrow and our church has "trunk or treat" that I was committed to helping with tonight. May God be glorified through your lives and your dad's memory...
