Awww You are in Heaven with all of the Angels, and Jesus. I am sure that there are lots of Gods animals up there, where the lions are lying down beside the lambs. Unicorns are probablly prancing around in play, while the some many differnt colors and kinds of birds and butterflys take flight in all of their beauty. It most really be nice to see the crystal clear ponds on the bottom of all the water falls with all of the beautiful colored fish swimming in them. I can only imagine all the beauty of a rainbow without the airplane trails of smog crossing the sky….You are so so Blessed to be in Heaven away from the suffering that we all share here on earth.
I never got to meet you in person on earth Brian, but save me a nice spot to watch the sunrises and sunset in Heaven..somewhere close to the seashore so I can watch the dolphins playing….Tell GOD that I said thank You for my life, and I will try to ‘win souls and make disciples’ for him….Your Brother back on earth~+~Ronald ‘Ron’ Martello……Amen
