Tuesday, Barbara, Russell, David, Tim and Rhonda- I am praying God wraps his arms around each of you and brings you comfort and peace. God has a plan and purpose for everything. Many times we don’t understand the why. We just have to trust in his plans. He will never leave you or forsake you. Draw close to God, give him your sorrow and tears and he will be with you every step of the way. I wish I could come to the funeral tomorrow. I will visit when I can,m, know that I will be with you in mind and heart, and will take time for silence and pray to remember a wonderful man who brought love and laughter to so many.
