Lisa
I am so sorry to hear about your Father. I think it is so hard to lose a parent, regardless of their age, we feel like they should be around to keep us safe forever. My prayers are with you and your Mom, that you will find strength to get through your sadness.

Lisa,

I can tell by the way you spoke of him that your dad meant a lot to you. Cherish your memories. May the Lord surround you and your family with a strong sense of His presence and peace.

Dear Lisa,

I'm so sorry. I know how you feel, having lost my mother earlier this year. Losing a parent is very hard, but I'm so glad you and your mother are close so you can lean on each other to get through this.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

<3 Lolly
