    Prayers for my old man....

    Pops has left the ranch.... He passed early Sunday morning peacefully in his sleep. He's battled COPD and CHF for a few years, but had held up pretty well, we thought. He was a stubborn bastard, but the best father a guy could have ever had. Not at all surprised that he rode off while sitting up in his bed watching a bad western.....that's just his style, and I hope for all of us we get to go the same way. Always the provider, always pure love, and never wanted to burden a single soul...

    Rest in Peace, Pops.... I love ya, dick. (No...his name isn't Richard, just a term of 'endearment' between us.... )

    Prayers for you and the family. Having a good father isn't something everyone is blessed with.

    Prayers and condolences to dad, you and your family. My dad is almost 89 and I see him slowly failing so we treasure every day.

    Heartfelt condolences to your family. My mother just passed away on Monday, so I have an inkling of what you are going through.

    Just remember God loves all of us and will make all things right.

    trails, my sincerest condolences to you and your family. He’ll live in your memory forever! I’m sorry for you and your families loss.
    I firmly believe that you should only get treated by how you act, not by who or what you are!!

    May God bring you and your family peace, comfort and reflection on those special times you all shared!
    When guns are outlawed only criminals and the government will have them and at that time I will see very little difference in either!
