On the wings of death and sorrow God sends us new hope for tomorrow - and in His mercy and His grace
He gives us strength to face the lonely days that stretch ahead knowing our loved one is in His hands and we'll be together in that beautiful land where there will be no partings, and time is not counted by years,
where there are no trials or troubles, no worries, no cares and no tears.
Loved and greatly missed by his family.
