When those we love have left this earth, we still can feel them near. We'll see a picture, remember "scriptures" that they have said , and it's just like they are here. And when we call upon our faith, when we believe and trust, we know the ones we care about are always close to us. May God continue to bless the family.

He was a true believer: He once said: "If I were afraid to die, I would destroy my testimony. So, whenever God calls me, I'm ready." He spoke those words on a bright, sunny, summer day at a backyard picnic. We thought that it was such a downer on such an upbeat day. Little did we know that it was his way of giving us the assurance that his trust was, and would always be, in the Lord.
