My condolences to you and your mother on the loss of your father. I regret that the weather took a turn for the worse today, in particular this afternoon, as I wanted to come pay my respects to you. But I’m sure you can appreciate that traveling is quite the challenge this afternoon/evening. Please know that you and your family are in our prayers. God delivers us many wonderful opportunities and at other times, will challenge us, particularly when are hearts are heavy at the time of a loved ones passing. But know that he is good and those that have faith will rebound and be stronger knowing that their loved ones are being cared for in a very special place.
