    Well a few people around here know I have been helping my father battle liver cancer. Well he died Tueday morning, just 26 days after we found out about the cancer. He was 61 years old.

    Thanks for the prayers and support through the last month.

    I Miss you Dad......

    Although I lost mine almost 19 years ago, at times it still feels like yesterday. I can only say you wont get over it, but you will learn to live with it. I read this somewhere shortly after mine passed and I think its a fitting tribute.

    " He may not have been the greatest man that ever lived, but he was the greatest man I ever knew."

    My best to you.

    Any words I might add seem fruitless Losing a loved one is not easy. I think we all have been there. Be strong and live on with the memories you shared in life.

    Todd,

    I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. Like our buddies above have said, there's really nothing one can say to help ease the pain in a time like this.

    Having lost my father a few years ago, all I can say is it gets easier and easier on us as time goes by. I can easily look back and chuckle at some of the great times we had as father and son now.

    I wish you the best.

    You and your family are in my thoughts,


    Rick
