Howdy, 

Thank you to everyone who has been thinking and praying for my family and me over the past weeks and months.  

My dad woke up in Heaven on May 8, 2024, and what Heaven has gained, we have lost.  A good friend of mine who lost her dad 2 years ago said it best. 

"It's a jolt."  

She's absolutely right.  Even though we watched and waited for it to happen, it cuts deep.  And I didn't know I could feel this much sorrow and hope all the time.

So thank you for caring and being on this journey with me. Here are some shots from the celebration of his life.
