I offer my sincere condolences to the entire Hernandez family. In the gospel according to John 14:1-4 Jesus tells Peter that he has built a mansion for us in Heaven with many rooms. Roland - your father has just gone before you to help prepare the rooms for you and your family's arrival. While the loss is very real, and sad on earth - your dad is happily working in Heaven - probably going to Lowes in Heaven to buy shelf units, and build book cases (and a barbecue). It's a time for celebration - not of sadness. Let me or Gary know if there is anything you need at work - Kevin.
