Just sending all my love to my nephews. I am sending my love and condolences to you. You lost your father and at the same time I lost my brother. We are all grieving different but one thing I want to say is God is still real, and he never make a mistake. Remember as you are going through your hurt and pain, call the name of Jesus, read the 23 psalms, and give him the praise and glory. Trust him and lean not to your own understanding. Your father will remain in our hearts forever. He is sleeping in Jesus arms. Words cannot feel the pain nor the void, but Jesus will. Aunt Betty loves you and will always be here for you.
