His journey just begun. Don’t think of him as gone away, just think of him as resting, from sorrows and tears, until Jesus comes to take him home.

Dear Shiroma and family,
As your Dad has transitioned from this earthly journey to Eternal home, remember that he was very much loved and cared for, by you and the entire family members. Best gift to Parents is to be with them when they grow old. You have been his support, strength, comfort and courage.
Saying goodbye is difficult but be comforted that he left a sweet note of love and blessings for all of you to cherish and laugh.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Stay strong!
In grief,
