So sorry to hear about your loss. You know that God and Jesus are in the best position to comfort us when we lose a loved one in death.

ET (POP) was a kind and great man. He always had a great story to tell, loved going to ballgames to see his grandkids play ball. He always was very kind to Robbie and I and often invited us for clam chowder at his boathouse for the family get together. He will be missed but us no longer in any pain. He is with the Lord now as I know he was a Christian. We will miss you. May the Lord watch over his family in his absence now and may all his memories be in their hearts. Mitch and Robbie Laney
