Judy and family,



I'm so very sorry at the lose of your loved one. I've had the opportunity to meet and talk with him and enjoyed his conversation. He was a very caring man and showed the love he had for all of you.



I don't know if you believe this but death is not an end it's merely a transition to a new life and I believe this without reservation. God has given me the honor of seeing, so please be at peace for he is with Jesus now and you will see him again.



God bless you all.
