Shane, I love you son, I"m so sorry to hear of the passing of your father. I know the love you two shared for one another. You where everything to him as he was to you. I know the misunderstanding now is hard, but, remember all the work you did together, all the laughs you shared, and all the conversations you shared over the years.We are selfish people, we want the ones we love to never leave us, when really we should be happy they are in heaven and enjoying all that Christ promised. Your dad is without pain, has a new perfect body, he's enjoying things that our minds cant even imagine!!!! I've know you for a long time, and i've always liked you, if there's anything at all we can do to help you and your family do not shy from calling upon us. May the Lord reach His healing and comforting hand down upon you and your family during this painful time.

God Bless You All,
Danny, Kim and Allison Collier
