Trusting in God's Promises
Comfort for your sorrow,
courage for each day,
Strength to face this journey,
His Word to light your way,
His peace to fill your heart,
although you may not understand,
And his love to hold you gently
in the hollow of His hand.
“I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.”-John 14:18.

I will miss him-his wonderful sense of humor and caring for other people. He was an extraordinary human being. My prayers and thoughts are with the family.
