Jeanine, thank you for sharing this with us, and all good thoughts are on your way. I lost my father many years ago, on the eve of my brother's wedding. It was wrenching. Nine days later, my 2nd child was born, and I told the visiting preacher I finally knew the lesson of eternal life. He will live on not only through you and your children, but all those impressionable kids at the school who will forever remember "Grandpa Bill"
