Rest in Peace, Dad.

James Charles Michael Kerp passed away last night at 2am. Yesterday was a tough day for him, and I think we all felt it coming. I am so thankful for the life he lived and the person he was. He’s at peace now, and I’ve actually felt him with me twice already.

Rest in Peace, Dad. I love you.

    Lesley,

    Thanks for your kind words.

    I'm sorry about your dad; it really sucks losing someone you care about. At least we have them for awhile in our lives.

    Much like your father, Janessa you are loved. It hurts to know that you are saddened, and everyone feels your loss. Still, you carry that glint in his eyes. You embody his spirit. You do him justice and he is so very proud of you! Love you, love you, LOVE YOU!

    I just lost my dad as well. I'm so sorry for your loss. It'll get easier, but that's not really any consolation right now. Hang in there.
