The first time I saw you were at Pops Place I never forget the happiness you gave me when you sang and played with the band Across The Tracks. Thanks for the memories.

Dear Family and Friends, I am so sorry that you have suffered this loss. May it comfort you to know that the Bible promises that the time will come when all those in God’s memory will be brought back to life to live on a beautified earth, where people will not ever get sick, grow old, or die. ( John 5:28,29; 1 Corinthians 15:26; Revelation 21:3,4; Psalm 37:11,29)
