Maj Shepherd, Sorry to hear that your father has passed away. But I am happy for him as he does not have to fight with his sickness anymore. He should be resting in a better place we all are hoping for. One day we all have to leave as we are not the permanent resident of this world. May God strengthen you with the heavenly strengths and the peace that passeth all the understanding from above. Our condolences to you and your siblings and your dear ones. See you soon.
