Comments Shelley, We are so sorry about your dad. You are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult " time, but you know where you dad is and that you will see him again.

May GOD give you strength and peace. " Connie Ellison - November 21, 2011 at 04:54 PM Words can't express the pain felt when I realized there would be no more.... No more kisses, no more hugs, no more quirky little smiles, no more holding my daddy's hand, " no more stroking your head until you were calm and returned to sleep. You wanted to stay but I know you so wanted to go be with God, with your maam and dad, and your siblings that were already there. I am thankful that God gave me the strength to keep my promise to you daddy that I would always take care of you. Dad... I will always take care of mom for you. My promise is not just words spoken but actions taken because of the love I have for you.
