Dearest Jean & Family.
You have lost a godly, Christian, strong, bright but humble husband and father of your family. He never complained nor bragged, but accepted setbacks as heavenly gifts. His love and devotion to his birth family and marriage family will seldom be equaled. AMDG, For the Greater Glory of God!
