I received the news that my friend Dona's father, Richard, passed away at about 8:30 PM on Thursday. He was such a huge presence, and a good natured man who was always willing to help you with anything, especially if it meant he could tinker with your ailing desktop, or find that perfect thingee-ma-jig to fix something amidst his collection of parts in his garage. He was friendly, he was boisterous, and he had a great sense of humor even as he was dying. Please keep the Milinkovich family in your prayers.
Open your arms, O God, and welcome Richard into your heavenly kingdom. Give him the keys to your work room, and shine your light upon him as he comes into your presence. Deliver him from all worries, pardon him from any offenses, and laugh with him as he joins in the chorus of all the good humored in your court. May he enjoy eternal rest with you as much as you enjoy loving him. Amen.
