Dearest Aunt Joan, Joel, Julie, Chris and Lisa,
I will always remember your dad as patient and loving, he was very helpful to me when I lived with aunt Joan and him back in the day. My dad always said to loved ones before departing, “God be with you til we meet again”, what joy this brings to us! We will unite again and see them face to face, as well as our Savior!
