My Father the Hero

My dear dad passed away two days ago due to ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). He was a true hero in many ways to many people. Thank you for the legacy of love, service and Christ-like example you leave behind. We love you and will miss you dearly.

Sara,
Your dad was such a great man. I am so sorry for your loss. Please call me if I can help in any way. My boys would love to play with Oliver.

Sara (& Mike), I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. That picture made me think about the rides you were telling us Oliver would take with him on the jazzy. I hope your mom is doing okay. Thinking of you.

I love that I got to meet your wonderful dad! I loved how chatty he was with me; I felt like I'd known him forever after two minutes. Heaven is surely a little brighter now. I am so sorry. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
