Once again, my family thanks all of you for your kinds words.
I feel for you L.D.S., I lost my father figure recently and even now its hard for me to cope with.
That's so sad, Mars. I lost my mentor earlier this year and now my dad has gone on to the other side, so I will be contacting my other mentor whom I love dearly and will stay in touch with him.
Life is precious. Dad didn't die of any disease or ailment; he just went.
Putting it into perspective, it could happen to anyone.
