  1. Wow, The Lord gained one great soul the day you left this earth and went to heaven! The best ones always seem to go way sooner than their time. Tears come pouring down my face when I think of your dear family. I pray the Lord carries your beautiful wife during these mourning and trying times, and builds her spirits up to flourish again. I pray all your children never forget what an Amazing father you were, and it shows throughout their lives. I pray your parents and sister find peace during these saddened days, and you comfort them with love. Words can’t even express how my heart breaks for your entire family and all of your friends during these times. I am grateful our paths crossed, and thank you for the memories. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone during this time of mourning, and my thoughts and prayers are with your family continuously for all the days ahead.
