You have the entire community praying for you and hugging you through your pain and grief. Just know that he was welcomed into Heaven and will be watching over each of you. Always remember what he stood for and keep his legacy going. It is obvious that he left his impression on many and his loving nature will live on in the lives of his family and friends. You two were awesome parents and the love and support you gave to him was infectious. May God hold you tight and pour his grace and compassion upon your family. Blessings...
