Another gentle spirit gone to be with the Lord. I will miss you Pokey. I know you are at rest now; no more pain or suffering; no more worries or troubles. You are with the Wonderful Counselor who gives you eternal peace. Rest on now; I will see you in the Rapture.
Peace and love to the family members. I know it hurts so bad to lose a family member but we must release them and let their spirits go back to God who gave it. I was Pokey's former mother-in-law 30 years ago and he was always a gentle, kind, sweet and helpful person.
