Michie,Jeannie and family
All though we cannt be there with you know we are there in spirit.
While God was preparing a place for your Dad, Granfather,Great Grandad know that a host of heavenly Angels & his beloved Mabel walked hand in hand with Him in the beatuful gardens of heaven.
One day you will be reunited with them and be a family again.
Althought the days may seem long know the sun is His warmth sent down to you and the nights may be endless the moon and stars are His lite to you. The rain of heaven are the tears of Angels sent to wash away your pain,the rainbow a symbol of what is to come in the future,for you all to be together again as a family in heaven one day.
Know our prayers and thoughts are with each of you,know we hold you all close in our hearts.
