A s we sit here today our hearts are full of sorrow. We can all still rejoice for joy comes on tomorrow. O ur paths are heavy laden and the task seems so hard. We can depend and rely on the "Love and Mercy of G od " !
June's laving has left our hearts filled with pain. Yet, we are as sured that he had so much more to gain! Happiness, joy, peace, and those
streets of gold. We cannot really imagine so many riches untold. June, husband, father, grandfather, brother, cousin, and dearest
friend, we rejoice knowing we shall "all" meet once again! N o more pain, sorrow, sickness, no chastening rod. We rejoice, shout, and are thankful for, "The Love and Mercy of G od" !
