I know it has been some time, but it probably feels like yesterday. I know your father is at peace. He was a great man and cared so much about each of you. He is surely missed by all who knew him. My thoughts and prayers are still with you today.

My sincere and heartfelt condolences for the loss of a devoted man of God who saved the lives of many though Compassion International. He was more than a sponsor to me in Compassion, I called him Dad for he stood and took the part of my Dad after loosing both parents many years ago. He together with the wife I call "Mum" have made me know Jesus Christ and lived the way God intends of us. May Dad's life rest in peace as we look forward to meet in Heaven someday at Jesus feet. My deep condolences to the Family and may God give them strength during this difficult moment. Blessings
