God's garden must be beautiful.
He always takes the best.
God saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb,
So, He closed your weary eyelids,
and whispered "Peace be Thine"

We will MISS you Mr.Curtis LaPrade---Thanks for the many years of your TRUE friendship.------James(as you called me"Obama" with that big old smile and Brewer----the Christmas cake man
