Reflections Of Life
My journey began on August 15, 1957 with no clue of what life would offer me. In the many years of education and travel, I was given wonderful opportunities to grow into a successful and God Fearing Man. There has been things that have humbled and strengthened me to march foward. These things made me a good son, brother, husband, father, uncle, cousin and friend.
I have had the love and support of my family and many friends I met over the years. Although not long, but well enj_oyed. I have grown closer to God and made my peace with him. To my loved ones I leave behind, please remember, that I am only gone in body, but always to remain in your hearts. Keep loving me and each other as I will always love you. I will continue to walk on this journey for whatever God has planned.
For Every Mountain For every Mountain, he brought you over
For every trail, he saw you through For every obstacle, you pass the test For your long suffering, he has given rou rest We will miss your laughter and meddling ways And the way you brighten our days There isno greater joy that we can share than knowing, that heaven is a lot sweeter, now that you are there.
God Knew God knew my body was tired,
And it needed rest. So he did what he thought was best
He sent down his angels To hold my hand
As they lead the way Into the eternal land This is not goodbye, We'll meet again because, Where there's life-there is an end no more.
