Ways to Honor Your Deceased Dad
Psalm 116:15: "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints."  Understand...in God's eyes, YOU ARE PRECIOUS!

9 Things you can do to honor dad even after he's passed away:
* Create a memorial website/social media page
* Write him a letter.  The earlier, the better.  It's an aid in the grieving process.
*Make a memory quilt.  The funeral home might be able to help, or you might have some gifted grandmothers and aunts.  Scott's mom made 3 memory quilts out of his dads t-shirts from all of the 5K's and other events he ran in.
*Dedicate an event to them.  Like the Tom Russell Memorial Golf Outing
*Make a donation to an organization important to dad.  
*Plant a tree or garden.  Tom & Scott have both had trees given to remember Scott's dad & Tom's father-in-law.
*Save them a seat.  At Thanksgiving dinner, or at the wedding.  Set a place for them, honor their memory by serving their favorite food, or watching their favorite show.  When Scott's grandma passed away, the family got together & watched home movies.
*Live life to the fullest.  
*Create a tradition.  What are we leaving for the next generation?  It's at the heart of Heritage Christian Counseling Ministries.
