Louis,
I'm very sorry for your loss. My Dad also passed away at age 70 back in 1988. I pray that God will ease your emptyness and heal your broken heart.

Louis I just went through this recently too..
It hurts so bad, my Dad was 70 years old too, and had lung cancer.
He died on Nov. 11th of this year. My Prayers are with you and yours during this difficult time.

Remember, We will join them one day and once again enjoy their company.

Louis, My sympathies to you and your family. I remember playing my steel for your parents in your living room. I didn't play all that well, but they really enjoyed it. Your father was very encouraging to me, and I always appreciated that.

I lost my father to cancer in 2002 at age 67. Take care.

À bientôt!

Hey Louis, I know what you are going through. My Dad passed away two weeks ago, and my son and I just spent a week cleaning out his place. Perhaps like me, you will get a lot of comfort remembering the great life you had with your Dad!
