My condolences I pray that the higher power God give the family strength through these hard times of losing such a wonderful man he will be missed. He was courageous, tender, loving. I just feel it remember, he’s not dead. He’s just in another dimension where are all divine dimensional travelers and at some point we have to leave this body I’m going to our ethereal body and I’m sure he’s doing his good deeds there but for now you may feel him around you as we usually do or have dreams where he tries to come and visit you many blessings and strength. God be with you
