Dad, it has been rewarding to watch you become so full of humility and affection for your family, knowing how difficult it was for you to express emotions. We find comfort in knowing that you reconciled your relationship with our Lord Savior, Jesus Christ, as we believe in his promise of eternal life.
John 11:25-26 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this.
John 14:2-3 In My Fathers house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
You will forever remain in our hearts and be greatly missed, but we take comfort in the fact that you are now with our creator, pain free and at peace.
Goodbye Dad, we will see you in heaven.
