Rachel, My deepeast sympathy of the passing of your father. I would like to leave the family with a special scripture: Revelation 22: 1, 4 "And I saw a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. In His Holy Name Gidgette
