To my family "The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all." We will miss Dim but he will forever live in our hearts and the memories will bring us joy even in our sorrow.
