Robin, It was so sad hearing about the passing of Hank. As you know I had known him for 25 plus years and was honored to be called his friend .We first met because of his insurance business and a friendship grew (I am sure as all his clients experienced). He was just that they of person. I appreciate all he did for me which at times seemed to be above and beyond.
We sang the song at church this morning I Am Thine, O Lord and I wanted to share the last verse with you.
There are depths of love that I cannot know Till I cross the narrow sea; There are heights of joy that I may not reach Till I rest in peace with Thee.
He is certainly at peace and in his arms.
As we mourn our loss and you and the family their loss may the spirit of your faith give you love and support.
