It still seems like a dream, but he really is gone. At 11:12 PM on March 7, my dad passed from this life to the next, surrounded by my mom and eleven family members. He lived a full life and made every day of his 90 years count. He was dearly loved and will be greatly missed.
Thank you, friends, for every prayer, thought, action and word that was sent our way during the past 6 weeks. Now my focus turns to mom and making sure she takes care of herself as she adjusts to life without dad at her side.
I love you dad. You fought a good fight and kept the faith. I'll see you later.
Your little margie (and petra pot pie, too)

We are so sorry for your loss. 7th March was the 2nd anniversary of the loss of my Father In Law, he loved life, lived every day to the full and was an incredible man, snatched away from us far too soon at just 59. We hope he met your Dad with a pint and a smile.
No words can comfort you and take away the ache of losing a parent, we know this only too well, but we also know that the love and support of friends can carry you through the hard times so we hope we can help a little.
You are very much in our thoughts and we send you much love.

Oh Pitty Patty Petty Pudgy Pot Pie. Sad times. Although maybe he'll have a little extra influence on the fate of the Cubs from up there....
Sweet Motch!
Looks like your daddy was a good egg and a guy who knew how to love his peeps (and his pups ~ I LOVE that photo of him with Petra on the sidebar over there)! I'm glad he got to be your daddy. Bet he was proud of you.
My girl lost her daddy when she was 17 and told me she has wondered what it would have been like to have him around to talk to once she was an adult. She's praying for you and your mama, and Stella & I are sending many soothing goober smooches your way. Distribute them as needed!
Please give that Petra girl some lovin' from us.
Goober love,
Stanley
So sorry to hear about your grandpa passing Petra. ;(
