Please share your thoughts ...
So sorry for your loss your family is in our prayers
Janie, my deepest sympathy to you and your sisters. From what you have shared with me about your father it sounds like he has lead a wonderful life.
He is now with your mother after all of these years and will be watching over their girls now.
Love,
Karen
I met Art through RCIA. He showed and gave love like Jesus wanted him to. It was a privileged to know him. He will forever be in my heart.
God Bless you,
Gloria Rendon
My dad and I are so sorry for your loss. He was a wonderful man and we have many fond memories. I’m glad he is at peace. Sorry we were not able to make the funeral due to work hours. May God be with all of you and know he is now with your mom. All our love and prayers. Kathi and dad
