Sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I lost my Mom to cancer just over a month ago so I know how tough a time you're going through. Hang in there and always remember the good times you had with you Dad.

Dear Jack -
Sorry to hear about your dad. Try to focus on the good memories of your times with him. My dad died of cancer when I was a young teenager and we didn't have as many years together as we should have ... treasure the times that you were able to spend with him and keep those memories close to your heart. It won't make the loss any less tragic, but it may make it easier to bear.
Best regards,

Jack,
I too, lost my father a couple of months ago, to cancer. I know how hard it was for you, although I wasn't able to be there the whole time like you were. We had a small service at the house, just his friends, mom and us kids. One of his friends, a minister, read this, and I thought it was very comforting and so I will pass it on to you:
Gone From My Sight
Henry Van Dyke
I am standing upon the seashore.
A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean.
She is an object of beauty and strength.
I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud
just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
Then someone at my side says: There, she is gone!
Gone where?
Gone from my sight. That is all.
She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side
and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her.
And just at the moment when someone at my side says: There, she is gone!
there are other eyes watching her coming,
and other voices ready to take up the glad shout:
Here she comes!
And that is dying.
