Not sure what to say?





He always had a positive attitude in spite of any issues he faced. There was always a bright side in every situation. Its ironic that I was thinking about him this morning. Him and his wife were great people and they are sorely missed.

I moved away in 1991 and never stayed in touch. You were a friend and your son was my best friend. I felt sad just finding out that you passed. Even though you are in a better place.

It is very shocking when someone passes without warning. It is alot easier to know that he is now in Heaven with our Lord. The only easy way is to truly understand and know that.
