David, So sorry to hear about your father. You and your family are in my prayers. Love you, John Tinker
It was an honor to attend the service at the Florida National Cemetary and stand with Noemi and her family as they laid their father to rest. The loss of your father is always difficult to bear. Our fathers are the strong cornerstones of our lives. They guide us, advise us, support us, and love us. May you take comfort in knowing he is with the Lord, never to suffer mortal pain and sickness again, his spirit watching over you forevermore.
