My heart is with you all as you say goodbye. May you find peace in knowing God took him because it was his time and god knew he had a better place for him. It was time to come home and be with family. You will see him again. When you have fulfilled your lifetime and it's your turn to be called home, he will be there waiting for you. I love you all dearly.
