Well Jim......I recall us talking about. When it's time for us, to leave this earth, and seek Our Lord in Heaven. Everyone kidded about who would be next..so on, so forth. We all knew we would all face this final journey. So many of our friends left before us. So now, you too, are with God and His Angels. What ever earthly suffering you may have endured, is now over. At the Elks, at the veterans posts. We shared some laughs and good times. We continue until He says it's over. We will all miss you buddy, but at least now, we know you are smiling down upon us, with other friends and loved ones. With God. Perhaps we'll meet again. Strength to your family and Gods Blessings... Tony.
