Karen and family; I was so saddended to hear of your loss. He is with our Savior and one day we will all be together again as God has promised. Keep the memories in your heart and share the good times. We never know when God calls us home. It has been 6 years since the loss of my dad, seems like yesterday. Know only that God has plans for all of us and we will grieve the loss, but rejoice that he is in heaven. He will watch over all of his loved ones. May God grant you peace and comfort in the days to come. God bless you all. Deepest sympathy’s. Jackie, Jay and family.
