I am so very sorry. It was so obvious to us here how much you and your family loved him and how you were his biggest blessings. Praying for your family.

Angie,
So sorry to hear this news. But your dad is now at peace and pain free. No more surgery, no more chemo. I am praying for your and your mom and sister to make it through the next few weeks, I know they will be rough. But just remember you are three strong ladies who stood by your dad throughout this ordeal and you will get through this part too. God bless your family during this time.

Angie,

This breaks my heart, all I can express in words is that I am so sorry for you and your family. May your dad rest in peace, and I hope that you all can fight through this tragic time together. As a current college premed student, your inspiration, love, support, and strength has been an inspiration to me and I thank you for that.
