Thank you

Thank you everyone who sent thoughts and prayers are way. Thank you Alanna. If only one day I could ever do the same for you. You truly touched my heart. You don’t know how perfect and wonderful it was to come home from the hospital after losing your father to find dinner was made and I didn‘t need to even think about it. Thank You !!! You are WONDERFUL!!

Just a small bit about my father..
He had nine children and often bragged that he was a millionaire 9 times over, but wouldn’t give a nickel for another one …………… he truly loved his family and had a wonderful sense of humor.

Every single night of his life as he prayed before going to bed, in his prayers he would mention each family member by name as he prayed.
1 wife, 9 children, 1 SIL, 5 DIL, 23 grandchildren, 4 grandchild by marriage, and 9 great grandchildren. And also mention the live-ins and seriously dating love of his children and grandchildren. If any one was going through a difficult time he would stop at that persons name and state the problem to God and say an extra pray.

Your father sounds like he was a wonderful man and will be missed my many. My thoughts and prayers have been with you and your family. I'm sending you lots of hugs from a few states away.
