    Suzie,

    I know how close you and your father were and I know the pain of losing him. Just remember he is in a much better place and with your mother. You will see them both again someday and be happy forever.

    God himself will wipe away their tears, pain and sorrow….. Revelation 21:4

    I love you and am praying for you..,. La Vonne
