Gigi - I'm so sorry you've lost your Dad. I lost my Mom in October. For me, the hardest part was watching my beautiful Mom deteriorate. Lord knows I miss her like crazy, but she's happy and healthy now.

Take care of yourself and all those memories you have of your Dad. Especially him singing to you just a few days ago.

Gigi - I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your dad. My prayers go out to you and your family at this sad time.

GiGi,
A prayer for you: Dear Holy Spirit, be with this family right now as they struggle in this time of grief and loss. Direct their decisions and soothe their hurting hearts...and escort their father into Our Father's Kingdom. Amen!

Gigi..I am so sorry for your loss. I checked this morning to see if you had updated your post..I was thinking about you today. I know it is hard to let go. Cherish the memories of your Dad..those memories will get you through the days ahead.

Gigi - I am so very sorry for your loss as well. I lost my mom in January and it still feels like yesterday. You WILL be okay, just keep on thinking good thoughts about your dad and take one day at a time.

Love,
Pam

Time heals the hurt . Every girl needs their dad but he will be with you everyday in your heart. I lost mine 9 years ago and I know he is with me whenever I need him. Peace to you and your family.

I am so sorry for the loss of your father. May you and your family find comfort and strength in the coming days.

Dad's are special.

Please accept my deepest sympathy.

gigi,
we are so sorry and praying for you guys.

Dear Gigi,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my mom in December to the same dreaded SCLC. From his picture I can tell how much he loved life. You will always hold those loving memories in your heart, and he will be watching over you now from heaven.
I'm sending prayers for peace and comfort your way.
Tracy

Dear Gigi, I want to add my words to the others posted here. I am so sorry for your great loss, and you and your family are in my prayers. I lost my father to sclc a year ago, and I know what you are going through. The days ahead will be hard, but they will get better, and you can take great comfort in the fact that you were such a good daughter and worked so hard to help your father. No one can ask for a greater gift than that kind of love. If you ever need to talk, I am here.
