I am glad I had the time with him that I did. He was always curious and open to new things. He loved to eat and laugh. He was proof positive that if you screwed up your life you could change and become a better person. He taught me that Life can be as happy or miserable as you choose to make it.
I have a lot of good memories and stories that I will treasure always.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Treasure the good memories. That's a beautiful picture.
Sending hugs your way and lots of caring thoughts. Would love to hear more about your father. It’s wonderful he got to give the quilt you made to the lady priest.
Lynne, sympathy and many caring thoughts as you learn to live your life without your dearest Dad.
Thinking of you, Lynne. Thank you for sharing this news with us, and for posting stories and pics of him in your blog over the years. It seems that he lived his life virtually until the end and I hope that dying in his sleep was what he (and you) would have wanted for his end.

Oh, Lynne, so sorry for your loss. This has to be so hard on you. Thank you for sharing with us.
I am so sorry your Dad has left this earth and grateful you have memories in your heart.
I'm so sorry, Lynne. My deepest condolences to you and your family.
So sorry for your loss. You will always have your beautiful memories of your father, and that dance.

So for your loss, Lynne. Remember the good time and smile when you think of him.
My dad died at night when he was 89 too. It's surprising to keep living without parents. I hope you are doing ok.
Sorry about your dad Lynne. You were lucky to have such a good one and share his life for so long.
I'm very sorry...death is never easy...again deepest sympathy.
I am so glad you have lots of good memories and that you made the time to enjoy time with your dad, especially as an adult. (My dad died suddenly when I was in college so we missed out on an adult relationship.). Please be gentle with yourself as you grieve.
Lynne,
Very sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. My mom passed away August 1, at 96, so I share the pain of your loss. May all the years of happy memories, in some way, provide us both with needed comfort. While their physical being is no longer, they are always in our hearts and watching over us. God bless. Pat

I'm so very sorry for your loss Lynne. My thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time. It's good that you have a lot of good memories and stories.
I have enjoyed your posts where you’ve shared about your father and how he supported you with advice and help with projects. I think there’s a resemblance between your son and dad. I am sorry for your loss.
Lynne, I am so very sorry to hear of your Dad's passing.
I know you will miss him,but you will have a lifetime of happy memories
of your time together.
Sending you and your family kind and comforting thoughts.

so sorry for your loss
I am so sorry for your loss. I, too, lost my dad in January this year. Sending hugs and prayers.
So sorry for your loss, blessed are the fond memories and this lovely photo where he stands pround beside his daughter.
Lynne, I am sorry to hear of the loss of your dad. You have my condolences and prayers. It was nice to see him pop up in your posts and for you to share the good times spent with him.

I'm so sorry to hear this news, Lynne. I just went back in your blog to read your wonderful posts about your Dad. What rich memories, lessons, laughter and love you shared together for so many years. May they fortify you for the rest of your life. I've pasted below some of my favorites.
My Wish: Throughout this whole pandemic when somebody asked me what I was going to do first, "when this was over," my answer was the same, "go visit my dad and get a hug." Now that I have had both my Covid vaccine shots, and my dad has had his as well, I was able to visit him and get my hug.
The Lady Priest: We hit it off like gangbusters. My dad was thrilled. He has long had a special place in his heart for Marjorie, and the fact that she and I got on so well brought tears to his eyes. "Daddy," I said, "You gave Marjorie a quilt, but you also gave ME a friend! Thank you so much."
Getting Ready: Now, my dad and I work great together. He's easy to be with, and never lets anything get the better of him. Even if something goes wrong, we just put it right without any fuss.
So Wrong It's Right: Everything went wrong. We were late for the movie. We ate at the wrong restaurant, and somehow we ended up in the wrong theater, watching the wrong movie. "It's wrong, but it's right," my dad said. "Nah," I replied, "It was perfect."
So sorry for your loss. My Daddy (for that's what we Southern girls all call our fathers, no matter the age) died in his sleep almost six years ago. It still seems like I should be able to visit him and ask for advice. Cherish your memories.
So sorry for your loss Lynne. Memories like the picture you posted are precious and will always keep him alive in your heart. Sending prayers from Alabama.
Lynne, so sorry for your loss. Condolences to all the family. Hugs and comforting purrs from me and Ducky.
My sincere condolences to you and your family. Hugs.
My deepest sympathy 🙏🙏
My sincere sympathy and thoughts for you during this difficult time.
My mother passed away 12/2021 at the great age of 92. Grief has been a journey. I hope you enjoy the many memories you have of your dad. Be easy on yourself.
I'm so sorry about your Dad's passing.
My deepest sympathies Lynne. I know how hard it is to lose your father, I was only 21 when my dad died. Dads are special to daughters. Beautiful picture of the two of you.
Such a hard time for you. Even though we know that our loved one is no longer in pain, or struggling with challenges, it's always too soon. Take care and remember, He Always Loved You.
When a treasure becomes a memory, the memories become the treasures. My sympathy for the death of your father.
I am so sorry for your loss Lynne. It is never easy to lose a parent. I am so glad you have such wonderful memories to hold close to your heart. Hugs from afar. Nancy

My deepest condolences. It is good that you had a lot of time with him, even though I am sure you could have used more. May his memories continue to warm your heart.
