The Hollowell family mourns the loss of John W. Goppert. Veteran, father and Grandfather. A great void is left in the wake of Dads passing. Respect for Dad and during our time of mourning, we will not be in contact for the next few days.

Gods blessings be with you all.

So sorry to hear of your loss, Chris. I found this brief prayer at Catholic Online. I edited it a bit, as the original prayer was for deceased parents and not just a father. I hope in some small way, it provides comfort to you and your family.

O God, Who hast commanded us to honour our father,
in Thy mercy have pity on the souls of my father,
and forgive him his trespasses,
and make me to see him again in the joy of everlasting light.
Through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son,
Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Sprit,
God, world without end.
​

Amen.
 
Sorry to hear that.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
 
Please accept our sympathies for your loss, Chris.

Brother Goppert is with his Father now and safe from the trials and tribulations of this worldly life. While we mourn the passing of one of our own, we also rejoice in solidarity for his ascention to a better world everlasting. He would not wish for us to grieve.

"In My Father's House"
Recorded by Elvis Presley

In my father's house are many mansions
If it were not true he would have told me so
He has gone away to live in that bright city
He's preparing me a mansion there I know

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!
 
Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Chris our thoughts are with you here also. I lost my dad last year. Its something you never get over just get used to. Take care
 
having a ticket in my hand to go see my son for the first time in 20 yrs I must capture every wonderful moment from Sunday on. Sharing this loss with a forum member truly makes one think how precious each moment is. We must make effort to rejoice with family as often as possible. IT saddens me to see friends of the forum take a loss. Chris you will be in thoughts and prayers from my house. You need to help strenghten yourself and family members so as to get through this grieving time.
 
You have my condolences, Chris. Keep the faith, brother.
