Sister Sherri,

Find comfort in knowing that your grandfather got to the celebration before we did. I'm certain he will enjoy it while in good company until our arrival so we can all celebrate together!

Dear Dan, Nelson, Nelzena and De De
Our entrance into this world happens without our consent. Likewise, the timing of our departure is fixed without our input. Indeed, the appointment with death is one we all must keep, and one for which we shall never be late.

But we can take comfort in the fact that we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were disolved,we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. (2nd Corinthians 5:1).
Please know that though we are separated by many miles our hearts are joined together with yours in deep sympathy over the lost of Our Dear Uncle Dan. Please do not interpret our absence from you in body as our absence from you in spirit. Just know that we are just a prayer and a phone call away. Much Love your cousins and nieces Dianne and Jewel and family.(Columbus, Ohio)
