Gail and Family,
It’s never easy going through the lost of a loved one. And we may often find ourselves asking, "Why did this thing have to happen?". One thing I have found through the years is that the Lord gives and takes. We do not belong to ourselves. The Lord has paid for us with the price of his own life. And when He calls us home, He is calling us because, in that moment in time, it fits into His Plan. I know Anton and the Smiths from my childhood days and boy did Anton, Tony and a lot of the neighborhood children have fun. We lived life to its fullest as children those memories will always be a part of me and my life. It’s funny how I was just talking to an old childhood friend of ours about Anton. GOD is always in control and he will never live us nor forsake us. Gail I’m sorry that we never met. And I’m so sorry for the pain that you and the children may be going through. May we all PRAY that you and you family find peace in this time of sorrow, and strength to move on.
Love,
Winston Willis
