My dad (ahvatsa) and I have met many of you in person and have developed lifelong friendships as a result of this forum.

It is with a sad and stunned heart that I want to share with you that my father passed away late last night. He had a massive heart attack in his sleep.

The rest of my family and I ask for your prayers and warm thoughts during a difficult time. As many of you can personally attest to...he was a wonderful man.

The most comforting thing to me is that, because he was a Christian, I know where he is right now. I love you, dad.
