To "THE FAMILY"

Weep if you must but not without HOPE there will be a getting up moment when the Trumpet sound but right now to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord

May the God of all comfort console all of you as only He can and remember EARTH really does have no SORROWS that HEAVEN cannot HEAL
