My dad passed away very suddenly yesterday morning.
I feel completely numb.
My family is devastated.
I don't even know what to do or how to live without the greatest man I have ever known. Someone who has taught me so much and made me the person I am today. Someone who has touched more lives than any of us could have ever imagined.
I don't know when I'll be back here, but please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers during this unimaginable time.

Thinking of you in this difficult time. Surround yourself with those you love and who love you and you will get through this.
I am so sorry for your loss. I am in tears just reading your post. I am so thankful that you have such a close family and you will have them to fall back onto for support. My father-in-law passed away 2 years ago Thanksgiving from brain cancer. He had a massive heart attack 10 years prior to passing away and we almost lost him then. My husband is so thankful for the extra 10 years that he knows he got with his dad, I know your dad was also given extra time after an accident several years ago. I am sure those extra years as you may see them now were a huge blessing in all of your lives. We will never know why great people are taken away from us too early. Big hugs, I will be thinking about and praying for your family.
Jenni - I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your father. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Jenni,
I'm so incredibly sorry about your dad.
I know that nothing anyone says can really make you feel better at this time, but just know that you are in my thoughts and my prayers.
My dad passed away this past February very suddenly and it is still so painful to even think about. There are days I still feel so numb.
Feel free to email me any time if you need to talk. I know sometimes it feels good to just let everything out.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. Thinking of you!
I am so sorry for your devestating loss. I will be keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Jenni, I am so so sorry for your loss. I will be thinking of you and your family and let us all know if there is anything we can do to help, even if we are all far away :(

I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I could tell you it gets easier but it doesn't. I lost my dad 2 years ago and I miss that man so much. Lean on your friends and family ~ when someone offers help take it ~ it is not a sign a weakness ~ it is a sign of love and the people around you want to show that love any way they can.
You are stronger than you think and you will see your dad in little things and that will never go away!
So sorry! Take care of yourself. I would be devastated as well. Hugs to you.

Saying in sorry for your loss doesn't seem to be enough, but I am truly heartbroken for you and yor family. From what you've written your father was a wonderful man who blessed so many lives.
My deepest sympathy.
Jenni, I cried when I read this post. While I don't know you and your family, through your blog I feel like I do and my heart breaks for all of you. You've always spoken so highly of your father and what an amazing man he was. No words seem like enough to convey how deeply sorry I am for your loss. I'm praying and thinking of you and your family.
So very sorry for your loss. I am another anonymous reader who knows through your blog how much you adored your father. Hold onto those wonderful memories you have of him through this difficult time and I hope they are a comfort to you. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I've never commented before, but wanted to express my condolences to you. I suddenly lost my dad 14 years ago (when I was 19)and I still miss him dearly. I know there isn't much I can say that will ease the pain, but know that the lessons your dad taught you will forever live in you. A part of your dad will live on in you, and in your children forever.

All I can say is that I'm so sorry. I simply cannot imagine a world in which my father was no longer living, it takes my breath away to even think of it. My heart, thoughts and prayers are with you, your mother, sisters and the rest of your family.
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss!
There are no words.
Please know you and your family are in my thoughts.

Oh, Jenni! I am so sorry for your loss. I experienced the loss of my most favorite aunt this week. And while her death was not sudden (she was battled cancer for the last 3 years) it didn't hurt any less. She was the best person I will ever have known in this lifetime. Jenni, I am praying for you and your family. Praying that you will find peace and comfort in each other and in the beautiful memories you have of your father. God Bless your family.
I'm so sorry! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
