My Dad passed this morning

Post by Carl Kilmer »

My dad joined mom in heaven this morning.
They are together again and God will take care of them.
They were wonderful parents and gave us a wonderful life.
Dad would have been 93 this year on June 31.
Thanks for a wonderful life, and God bless you and mom. We love you.

Dear Carl,

How blessed you both were to have each other. No doubt he and your mother are looking down and proudly proclaiming, "That's OUR son!"

That said, it's always hard to say good-bye for now, and I pray that you are surrounded by family and friends to celebrate your father's life here on earth.

God bless,

Thank you all so much. You people are all so Wonderful and Caring.
We buried dad Wednesday, and he had a full military service.
It was a sad, but beautiful service for the family and friends.
He's in Heaven with Mom now, where he's wanted to be since Easter 2007.

Again, Thank you all, and God Bless all of you.
