Wow Dad came to me in a dream last night and I couldn't get back to sleep. As I laid there trying to remember the dream, I knew he had tried to tell me something important. Please know my dad was there when your dad passed, he was NOT alone. I don't know if that was an issue for anyone or if it was dads way of letting me know what had happened. Today is 8-14-14. Guess this isn't exactly a normal entry to a guest book but I hope you find some comfort in the message. Sorry for your loss, Renae Leiker
