My dad passed away Saturday, Sept. 16.
He was put into the hospital last Wednesday with pneumonia and developed congestive heart failure. His death was very peaceful and beautiful. The family was at his bedside......36 of us!! As the priest was giving him last rites he kept asking for the score of the LSU game!! We all had our chance to tell him we loved him and as he told my mom he loved her, he passed away. He had a wonderful life and his family is so very proud of him. Thanks to all who prayed for him and our family.

Praying for your dad. Eternal rest grant unto him, Oh Lord, and may Perpetual Light shine upon him. May his soul rest in peace.

This is for you.
