6MMWASP,
This is likely the toughest thing you have been through and by this age, that's a lot. My heart goes out to you and yours sir.
I can sympathize with the pain .
One thing I take solace in is that my Dad put his trust in the Lord to take him to heaven. (ie. The signature link) I trust likewise yours did as well. In that case you both can be reunited someday. We can then look forward to seeing and more time to enjoy on that side.
I will pray that the Lord brings strength and comfort through this tough time.
Sincerely,
HC
