Plenty more room in our Father's kingdom. 2 Corinthians 4:17-18
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

“Geno”, we did not finish our conversation; you left too soon! Jesus needed your Engineering skills more. I’ll remember our days of laughter and the joys of listening to that jazz playlist with Grover W. you memorized. Thursday’s morning meetings for coffee and donuts will be somber, but we’ll understand that you’ll be busy serving Lord Jesus. We love and honor your friendship! You will be missed - we offer love and condolences to your Family and to Virginia.
