Resolution 
Daddy, on December 27,2021, you were summoned home to rest in Abraham’s bosom. My heart is broken 💔& still heavy as I/We grieve & mourn OUR Patriarch of our Tribe. Through my sleepless nights & all my tears 😭 I take solace in knowing that our Creator, thy Maker הָיָה has promised through HIS Word
◄ Isaiah 57 ►Berean Study Bible
 The Blessed Death of the Righteous
1The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; devout men are swept away,
while no one considers that the righteous are guided from the presence of evil.
2Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest, lying down in death.

Deuteronomy 34:7 Moshe (Moses) was son of a hundred and twenty years when he died; his eye was not dim, neither were his cheeks wrinkled. 8And the children of Israel wept for Moshe (Moses) in the plain of Moab thirty days and they fulfilled the days of weeping of mourning Moshe. “The Israelites grieved for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days, until the time of weeping and mourning was over.” 

In Numbers 20:29, “And when all the congregation saw that Aaron had perished, all the house of Israel wept for Aaron thirty days, Numbers 20:29

Yeshua’s Sermon on the Mount teaches us in  Matthew 5 Beatitudes (be·at·i·tude) verse 4, Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted ( I believe that)

Introduction to the Sermon on the Mount

1But when Yeshua saw the crowds, he went up into a mountain and when he sat down his disciples came near to him. 2And he opened his mouth and he was teaching them and he said: 
3“Blessed by The Spirit are the poor, because theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
4Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5Blessed are they who are meek, for they will inherit the earth.
6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.
7Blessed are they who show mercy, for mercies will be upon them.
8Blessed are those who are pure in their hearts, for they shall see God.

Uncle Jo and I had a big verbal altercation on his 50th birthday.. Even tho it was very hurtful I went to his & Aunty Louise  home and apologized  to him 3 years later,  he did the same and then asked me what took me so long🤣..   I just thank God for mending and fixing our relationship and giving me the opportunity to have a fish fry lunch with him, uncle Bo, aunt Edna,  & aunt Di in november 2021.. He was happy to see me and the feeling was mutual.. I got use to him going in the hospital,  I'd pray along with others and he comes out doing much better,, this time God healed him completely and I must say I'm still in a bit of shock...Rest with the Best Unc, and im so glad that God allowed me to exchange the best words ever with you , those words were I Love You..

My uncle James would tell me to keep an eye out for my bunny, Athena, just in case he got hungry.  I didnt think it was funny when I was younger and would tell him the bunny was spoiled and no good. However seeing the smile on his face every time  he would come down and make this joke made it all the more special. I love you, Uncle. May you rest in peace.

Rest my dear uncle. We had some funny memories.  One yeast storm hit the coast. My family jumped into to action came down to fix my roof and repair doors. Uncle James worked on doors. The other brothers were on the roof. He set on the ground instructing them. We gave him the name Supervisor that day.  We love you❤️

Just because you took longer than others, didn't mean you failed.  Thank you for all your support (known and unknown) 
in everything.

A good father who gave of himself to all lavishly. Humble and kind, low on judgement and big on mercy.

It is my prayer that God will comfort you and the entire family during this time. May he richly bless you as you mourn, and may the light of His presence be a continual source of consolation.
Shula, James & Darlene- I love you all.

Exodus 20:12 ESV 
“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.

Dad/Papa WE love & miss you. Thank you for always watching out for me, the girls & KJ.  "I hurt with the hurt of MY TRIBE/Family, as it is written in Jeremiah 8:18 "My grief is beyond healing; my heart is broken. 19. Listen to the weeping of our TRIBE/Family; it can be heard all across this land.     The Patriarch of our Tribe has transitioned, and the hurt does not go away, WE learn to accept & live on through the memories. 
                                                                                                            My prayer is that our Creator, thy Maker keeps OUR entire Tribe/Family in Perfect Peace, Isaiah 26:3, at this difficult time. 

As our Dad/Papa transitions from this earthly realm to the spiritual realm I humbly pray 🙏🏼to OUR Creator, thy Maker, that He dispatch a host of His Heavenly Angels along with OUR Archangel Michael, prophesied in Daniel 12:1 “the archangel who stands guard over OUR Nation, the Tribe of Y’Israel to carry him into Father Abraham's bosom, just as Lazarus was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom, as the scripture says in Luke 16:22.

As children, Servants & Believers in The Most HighYA, WE can take solace in knowing that HIS Word will not fail or return void. HE promises US that there is a Blessed Death For The Righteous, Isaiah 57:1-2 GNT 1. The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from the evil that’s coming. 2. He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness. 

Lastly, Tribe/Family, we encourage ourselves & be reminded of Ecclesiastes 12:7 “as the  dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to the Most High God who gave it.”
