Yesterday
We met right before I married your brother and saw, then, what a sweet, gentle man you were. Years later I shared Jesus with you and I hope, now, that you took Him into your heart so you would be with Him when this day arrived. You were a precious man, Butch. I hope to see you on the "Welcoming Committee" on the day when I arrive (on my own appointed day) in Heaven.
