Sorry to hear for your lost. Your father was a good man and he will reap his rewards.

Prayers to the Lord.

((HUGS)) and prayers for you!
Your Dad sounds like a great man...I am thankful that you shared some of him with me~

[Pegita]

The very essence of your beloved father ... all that he was and is and shall be ... will be evident in generations to come, such is his love and legacy. May these coming days be richer than the first, and may his last day be the first day of glorious eternity.

In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, blessings upon you and your household, Jeff.

Thanks for sharing a bit of your father with us. A very good example indeed.

I especially like the last “...He is teaching us about dignity and grace, and gratitude for life’s blessings...”

Thank you all so much for your prayerful support.

I drove out to see Dad Thursday with my daughter Melissa and her 2-year-old son, Joey. Melissa was Dad’s first grand child.

Dad was in bed at home under hospice care. He had received Annointing of the Sick and Holy Communion earlier in the day.

Dad was coherent and I was able to read my tribute to him, albeit with a choked up voice. He reached out and held my hand. His eyes teared up and he asked for some tissue.

Yesterday Dad slept most of the day. Joey was concerned about him and told him in his tiny little voice, “I love you, Papa.” Dad heard him and said, “I love you, too.”

We prayed a rosary over him last night. I lead the prayers as I was the only one who could get through it without crying. Dad heard us praying and folded his hands to pray with us. Soon after our prayers Dad passed away. It was a beautiful death.

My brother Jay and his family took such tender care of him and made sure he had everything he needed. Jay was very distraught and the look in his eyes reminded me of how I felt when we almost lost our daughter Beth. When Dad passed away a great weight was lifted off his shoulders and he got the first night’s sleep he’s had in weeks.

Today after I got home my daughter Susan brought my 3-year-old grandson, Logan over for a brief visit. Logan told me, “I’m sorry your daddy’s gone.” I told Logan that my daddy is in heaven. I believe that.

Dad was 82 years old. We will miss him dearly.

God bless you, Jeff, and your father. I pray these last days will be pleasant loving memories and help carry you through the difficult period ahead.

[PhiKapMom]

God be with your family. Your Father has to be very proud of you — he raised a fine son!

“Dad taught me how to be father. He was involved in our lives, but never heavy-handed with his discipline. He drove us to sports, to scouts, took us to Dodger games, coached Pop Warner football, went dirt bike riding with us. He was like a father to our friends, whose own fathers didn’t always do those things with them.”

Your dad and mine are in Heaven with the Lord. Your dad sounds like a carbon copy of mine. I hope they meet one day!

Dear Jeff,

What a beautiful tribute to your father, and how lucky you are as a son!

May God bless your father, you, and indeed all your family and friends as you face this final chapter in his life. May God grant you all peace, comfort and strength as your father makes his journey homeward...

[sneakers]

What a beautiful tribute! You are so blessed to have such a father.

Prayers for a peaceful and easy passing for your dad.

[AKA Elena]

Your post is a reflection on you ... beautiful, loving and a son's tribute to a great man ... much of my deceased Dad was brought to mind for me.

Many prayers as he enters Eternity ... for his soul and for your comfort by the Holy Spirit.

[sweetiepiezer]

How blessed you are to have him this long.
Lost mine when I was 4.
Give him an extra hug for me.
Prayers for him and for you also.
