Sorry to hear of your loss, and I know how much it hurts, as I lost my father May 2007. It will get better with time, and as others have said, cherish the memories. They can be an inspiration during trying times, and will bouy you and yours in years to come. God Bless.

Im am very sorry to hear about your loss. I will say a prayer for your family. Rick B

May the God of Heaven bless and keep your family thru these hard times! I know what you are dealing with. If you ask the Lord for comfort he will send it too you. We love our parents, we shall always keep them in our hearts and thoughts.

Sorry to hear the news. 53 is awfully young to go.

Let this be a reminder to all of us... Enjoy the people around you (kids, parents, grand-parents, aunts, uncles, friends, etc) because once they are gone, they are gone...

Take nothing for granted in this life!

heartbreaking news...I am so sorry you had to lose your Dad so soon.
Deepest condolences and prayers to you from Spain
Nick and Ellie.

I am so sorry to hear that. You will be in my prayers.


2 Corinthians 1: 3-5

3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. 5For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.

John 14: 1-4

1"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God[a]; trust also in me. 2In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4You know the way to the place where I am going."

Sorry to hear of your loss.
I couldn't have quoted these verses any better myself.
I'll be praying for you and your family. Take care of yourself!

Oh gosh- I don't know you but that must be so hard. I'm sure he's with you every time you drive....good thoughts coming your way from Songmans wife.

I'm sorry to hear about your Dad. When I sit and think about it, my Dad is

50, and I honestly don't ever think I have ever thought about what I would

do if my Dad were to pass...there are so many things I don't know, so

many things I haven't asked...

I really hope that you find comfort in your family, and the support you all

will have to bring each other. I have never lost anyone in my family close,

but I lost my mother and baby sister. Your family is the most important thing

in your life. Be there for each other, take comfort in each other, and you

will be able to get through anything together.


In my thoughts and prayers.

im so sorry! stay strong. one of my good friends lost his father last year also, he was 51 . wayyyy to young.

be strong for your mother and keep your head up. things will get better. just think of the good times you two have shared

my prayers go out to you and your familly

I'm so sorry dude.
I wish the best for you and yours. Sounds like he was a cool supportive guy... We need more like him.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Seeing as it is getting close to Christmas I would like to share a poem with you that helped me through the loss of my grandfather a few years ago.

Merry Christmas From Heaven

I still hear the songs
I still see the lights
I still feel your love
on cold winter nights

I still share yor hopes
and all of your cares
I'll even remind you
to please say your prayers

I just want to tell you
you still make me proud
You stand head and shoulders
above all the crowd

Keep trying each moment
to stay in his grace
I came here before you
to help set your place

You don't have to be
perfect all of the time
He forgives you the slip
If you continue the climb

To my family and friends
please be thankful today
I'm still close beside you
In a new special way

I love you all dearly
now don't shed a tear
Cause I'm spending my
Christmas with Jesus this year


My mother put that poem into a Christmas card and gave it to me at Christmas. I keep it on my fridge.

I can only echo the thoughts and condolences of the rest of "our family". Remember you have LOTS of friends here.
If there's anything we can do to help, just ask.
Keep your Dad's pasion alive, and remeber he's smiling down on you everytime you turn a wrench on your Fiero!

Brad,

I'm very sorry.

It's never easy to lose a parent, even though that's how it usually works out with most people.
It's difficult, no matter what your, or their, age.

I was 15 when I lost my mom (barely remember that, now) and 31 when I lost my dad (which I remember like it was yesterday, even though it was 20 years ago.)

May you find peace and comfort.
And remember that we understand.

Theres a lot of early age 50's in these posts. My day passed unexpectedly at 52 and I was 18. He bought me my 1st car the day before he died. I'm 60 now and some of those good memories still bring tears of joy to my eyes today.
Be strong and always remember when.

I'm sorry for your loss

Sorry for your loss bro. My condolences to you. I know what you're going through. My mother, father and grandma past away three weeks apart six months ago. My parents were only 55. Grandma was 80. My father gave me his fiero when I was 16. Im 29 now and ill never get rid of this car. Please, stay strong and stay busy. It will get better as time moves on. Take care.

This is really turning into a gut-wrenching thread.

You just never know what other people are going through in their private lives.

My heart goes out to all of you who've lost a loved one long before their time.

I am sorry that you have lost your dad. My condolences and prayers.

I will join in saying a prayer for you and your family. I am so sorry to hear of your loss.
