Bless your heart, Jude. You had that great Gilliam smile and looked so much like your grandfather Tom. Your family surely cherishes the time they had with you here: may they find peace and strength in your memory.

You turned a time of mourning to worship this afternoon at the memorial service. It is not often that we get to peek into heaven like this. To God be the glory.
