Pearl and family,
I am so sorry for your families loss.
May you take comfort in the fact that your Brother is now in the sheltering arms of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The following is a poem That was given to me when my Grandmother passed away. I have found much comfort from it.

I AM NOW IN HEAVEN:

I am now in Heaven,
The gates have opened wide,
And now I have the privilege Of walking by His side.
The angel choir is singing,
And the music is so sweet;
I'll join them just as soon as I have worshiped at His feet.
I am now in Heaven,
The blood washed throng is here.
I recognize a lot of them, There's not a single tear.
There's joy beyond description
And reunions by the score;
There'll be no separations, For we'll be here evermore.
I am now in Heaven,
Please wipe away your tears.
I've fought the battle, run the race, I'm rid of all my fears.
There is no pain or sorrow here,
The heartaches now are past;
I've read and sung of Heaven, And now I'm here at last!
I am now in Heaven,
And Oh, the Place is grand!
No one could ever tell me All the beauties of this land.
Since I cannot describe it,
You'll have to come and see
That it was worth the trials To live here eternally!

The Afterlife
I think of the day when I can tell the story, and I thought
what would the ending be? Like not being able to see you
anymore, the tears fill my eyes. Suddenly realizing there
is a place where I can take you and keep you, never having
to let you go. I will never be able to tell the world how
much you have meant to me. But in my afterlife so shall
you be, and then everyone will know.

Ms. Alberta and Family

I was shocked to hear of Neals' passing I have known your family for such a long time. It feels as if I have lost a brother myself. I can only hold kind memories of him, always seeing his smile, and wearing his white chefs attire. My prayers are with you in this time of mourning. He will be missed.
