To My extended Family: There will come a time when mourning will become gladness and comfort will become joy because Uncle James has entered the pearly gates of Heaven. He is more healthy and free than he ever was because the Lord has given him eternal life. I pray with you in spirit that God will continue to watch over you, comfort you, and provide you with peace and strength through these difficult times. To be absent from the body is to be present with our Lord!" God Bless!
