Faye, Robby, and Family
God bless you Pat and family. I saw your Dad a few monthes ago at Mcdonalds on Leicester Hwy. and wow! He talked about God and the Bible so much. One could tell were his heart was at and that he was a true believer. I know he is with God and praising Him right now and praying for you and all the loved ones left behind. Some are on Jesus’ welcome committee while others he wants too ride back with him. There is a white horse your dad is getting ready too mount just any day now. Lets keep looking up. God bless you all Bob.
Pat and Jack and too all the family I am praying for you all. I know You are all greaving now and may Christ Jesus give you grace on this road He Himself has traveled. I am here for you all any time. Love Susan.
Keith and family,
My heart goes out to you during this difficult time. Remember to lean on God, for he is always there, steady and true.
