Though I did not know this man, personally; his daughters ( Janelle H.) is a close friend and she shared her love for her father. I pray for your family comfort and peace at this time of rest.
The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.
