My heart Grieves with you in this time of loss. I pray that JESUS will fill this void with the understanding that HIS ways are perfect in all circumstances. HE has given us the HOLY SPIRIT to comfort us thru times of sorrow like this.
Focus forward to the day when you see Richard seated at the table with JESUS, awaiting us to begin our "Eternal" retirement.
Lou, Peggy, please know that my sincere prayers are with you all at this time of loss. Please remember that Richard now fellowships with the Lord JESUS. Until we see him again face to face with JESUS, "May the SON always shine in our eyes" through the tears of loss.
