Not sure what to say?

found this today and it was nice remembering and thinking about Time and conversations I got to have with Lacy. I thought about where i am now and was back then and how he was a part of my journey through faith . funny how it all works and how God uses things and people to further his glory and to bring us to him ! You are missed and not ever forgotten

"I drove for,Roadway,Hopewell,Interstate,Great Lakes,Walford Mac,Time,Great Lakes,Freightline, Spectre,Western and Gillete. Wilson Associates got all that driving done and tell ya boy,there ain't no easy run ."

I remember as a child my grandfather lived a street behind Mr VanZant and he was restoring a house. We as children would go over and play in the house he was restoring and he was so patient with us, he would stop working and talk to us. He took us in his home to show us his son's gold records. Just the things I remember of him he was a kind, gentle person. It was a blessing to have known him. Heaven has definitely gained an angel. God bless the family.

Remembering you today, Papa V. It was an honor & a blessing to meet you, Sir. Rest In Heavenly Peace

I wish I could have met him

You & the boys will never be forgotten

God's Heavenly Garden

By: Dorothea K. Barwick

Sometime s God picks a flower
that is still in bloom;
Sometimes the rosebud chosen
we feel he picked to soon.
Sometimes the flower is fading
with petals floating down,
But God knows the perfect time
to gather flowers from the ground.
There is a heavenly garden
in which God takes great pleasure
Because He's placed within it
the loved ones that we treasure.
He walks among the blossoms
giving them...
