My Dad passed away suddenly last night. I am shocked. I am numb. I am getting myself and two of my kids ready to fly out to Portland tonight.
Prayers for the whole family would be appreciated. I am so thankful for the love and support that has poured in from friends and family both old and new; near and far! I am thankful for my wonderful husband that has arranged for me to fly up to be with the family and is caring for the kiddos here at home as well as finishing Christmas preparations! I am also thankful to God for his peace that passes all understanding.

Updated to add- Dad died of a pulmonary embolism. There were no typical signs or symptoms of the growing blood clot that would end his life. The one symptom he did show (a strange cough) would not have lead to the discovery of the clot. He appeared to be a very healthy 60 year old man; his loss was oh so very unexpected.
My heart breaks for you - we will be keeping you and your family in our prayers. Much love and Blessings to you...

Gabrielle, I was sorry to hear of your dad's passing. He was a good man - always friendly and welcoming to those included in your family gatherings. My few memories of him are good ones. His legacy lives on in you and your children. God bless you and comfort you as you journey forward. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
