The loss of a caring father brings pain and grief but I urge all members of your family to be consoled with the memories of the good life you shared with your father. Be comforted in the fact that your father lived a fulfilled life and rendered most laudable services to God and humanity during his life on earth, for which he will always be remembered”.
