Dear Sister Dot, and family

We join you in prayer, grief and rejoicing.

God created us with a desire to live.

All who knew Billy will agree that he lived life to the fullest. In fact, only God knows how far reaching the influence of his life on earth will be.



We all prayed that God would heal him here on earth, give him more and longer quality life. However, since loving caregivers here on earth could not heal him, God took him home, cause He loved Billy too much to let him continue to suffer, He's now in God's care forever.



Dot, you told me that someone had shared a thought about how Billy is now dancing around in Heaven, on both feet. It occurred to me that he is probably joyfully looking forward to greeting us, so he can laughingly remind us that even before he left this old earth, he had a leg up on the rest of us. Praise the Lord, he is whole again. He has not only joined Jesus, but also the leg that went on before him. Yes, in every way he has been healed, and is not suffering anymore. Thank you Jesus!!!

OUR LOSS IS HEAVEN'S GAIN.



With love and Blessings, Robert & Mary Sowell
