Good father all his children graduated from college

[@trg1408]

He's a beacon of light and probably more so now that he's passed because now he'll always be that light instilled in their memory!

HE IS TRULY A BLESSING!

[@barbaragarb9453]

NO-ONE can replace him

[@Happybidr]

They should put a donation box next to the Caller for his daughter’s foundation, along with some small brochures on the foundation and its mission, and explanations about glaucoma. If everyone there just upped their change to a full dollar and gave them the difference, over time it would be a lot of money.

God bless JC, and his Family. Matthew 19:4 And he(Jesus) answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? 6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

[@shygirlnow2011]

I am disabled but no special or interesting talent like J.C.!

[@Loveroffood41]

Oh you dear princess everybody is blessed with something they are good at. I can understand how you feel about not having a special or interesting talent but you know what you probably have something that no one else in your family or friends has. I encourage you to seek out your talents and who knows you could have one of the best gifts that earth needs right now.
