To the family,

It was my privilege to meet and serve Mr. Eby. He loved his family and was proud of you. You have my sympathy. Mr. Eby is singing with the angels and worshiping his Lord.

Daddy I love you and will miss you so very much. You were the best daddy in the world. But I am rejoicing that you made that final journey to be with your savior. I will meet you there someday. Xoxoxo

God has received a very special Angel.. James was a wonderful man I had the pleasure of caring for at Conover Nursing. I enjoyed talking with him every day I was there and loved when he gave me big hugs and sweet kisses on my cheek. I prayer for him every day and his wife Rita as he so dearly loves. I will miss him greatly already but I'm praising God for putting him in my life even though it wasn't long enough and knowing he is whole again and sitting side by side with his heavenly father..Rest in peace my dear friend.
