Sad news....

Sadly, my father passed away unexpectedly this morning from a massive heart attack. He had been battling some heart issues for the last few months. My mom found him sitting on the couch this morning unresponsive to her voice or touch. She called 911 but unfortunately it was too late and he could not be revived. Today has been emotionally draining and it feels like nothing is real. Rest in peace, dad. We love you and miss you. Don't worry about mom too much. We will take good care of her.

Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
He leads me beside quiet waters,
He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for His name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
