LIFE IS BUT A STOPPING PLACE, A PAUSE IN WHAT's TO BE, A RESTING PLACE ALONG THE ROAD To SWEET ETERNITY. WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT JOURNEYS, DIFFERENT PATHS ALONG THE WAY, WE ALL ARE MEANT TO LEARN SOME THINGS BuT NEVER MEANT TO STAY OuR DESTINATION IS A PLACE FAR GREATER THAN WE KNOW FoR soME, THE JOURNEYS QUICKER, FoR SOME, THE JOURNEYS SLOW AND WHEN THE JOURNEY FINALLY ENDS, WE'LL CLAIM A GREAT REWARD AND FIND EVERLASTING PEACE, ToGETHER WITH THE LoRD.
ToNY, THE HARD PART WAS LE'ITING GO!! THE HARDEST PART IS LEARNING TO CONTINUE THE JOURNEY IN LIFE WITHOUT YOU.
I WILL TRULY MISS YOU FROM
THE DEPTHS O F MY HEART. You ARE IN Goo's UNCHANGING HANDS.
