But our homeland is in heaven, and we are waiting for our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, to come from heaven. By his power to rule all things, he will change our simple bodies and make them like his own glorious body.
Troy you will be missed, Thank you for being the best father and husband you knew how to be. See you in heaven! Where everything will be made perfect!

It truly saddens me to hear of the loss of such a dear friend. I will always cherish the memories of our kids growing up together and all the good times of being your neighbor. May the good Lord welcome you with open arms and look down upon all of the loved ones you have left behind. Until we meet again my friend!

My deepest condolences to the family and friends of my friend, with whom I was looking forward to reconnecting after many years... I had the chance to exchange a few messages with him over the past month or so and was looking forward to seeing him in person... The profound sadness that I feel over this tragedy and loss can not be expressed in words.
