"Last week an incredible kind, loving, gentle man went on his last journey back to the Lord! He not only was the most wonderful father, grandfather and greatgrandfather, he also was trying to make up for the loss of our most beloved mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother. He tried to be both parents and that makes this void he left behind even bigger. There will never be the right words to describe how much he loved his family. There will never be enough words to thank him for all he has done for us. His memory is all around us and will always guide us on our future path. Our faith in the Lord will give us the strengh and comfort and lead us on. We are blessed to have the privilege to be the children of such a great man! ?"
