Sincere condolences from my family to yours, Otto. My mother passed away almost a year ago. Depending on what kind of relationship you had with your father, you may be about to go through some major changes in your life. Some of them will, of course, be quite unpleasant, but others will be enlightening and fulfilling. Just know that you are not alone. ---
