IGO's Father

It's with a heavy heart and my deepest sympathy that I'm posting to let all of you know that IGO's father passed away Monday night. I'm hoping that his recent visits with his father will bring him some peace as well as a lifetime of cherished and fond memories.

Robert will be flying out tomorrrow morning to attend services and be with family. I know that your thoughts and prayers will be greatly appreciated.

Please PM me if you'd like an address to send a card.

IGO please know that we're all going to wrap our arms around you through this thread to give you a great big hug and let you know we care.

Sorry for your loss IGO. You've always made it clear how much your dad meant to you and his positive impact on your life. Sad

IGO, I'm sorry to hear of your loss as well. I know the pain of your loss as well as the relief that you may have to know that your father is better and is no longer in pain or suffering. I'll include you and your family in my prayers for your grief.

IGO, Sorry to hear of your loss. My heart goes out to you and your family. I will keep you all in my prayers.
Memories are the best to remember the good times to help you through a difficult emotional time. As someone told me they are always with you now. All you need to do is talk to them when you want to and they will hear.
Take care
