WHAT CAN BE SAID ABOUT THIS MAN…..?HE NEVER TURNED A PERSON AWAY THAT NEEDED HELP, HE LOVED HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHOLE HEARTEDLY AND NEVER HELD BACK. HIS PUPPYS WERE HIS BABYS, HIS GARDEN, FLOWERS AND PLANTS were HIS PASSION. HIS LOVED ONES THE REASON HE LIVED. THIS MAN NEVER HARMED A SOUL, HE ONLY TRIED TO HELP THEIR HEARTS AND MINDS AND LET THEM KNOW HOW MUCH GOD LOVED THEM AND WAS FOR THEM. THIS WAS A GOOD MAN. HE IS NOW WITH OUR FATHER AND AT PEACE AND MADE WHOLE AGAIN WITH OUR FATHER, AND WATCHES WITH GOD OVER EVERYONE THAT HAS BEEN IN HIS LIFE. AFTER TEN LONG YEARS OF THE MOST COURAGOUSE FIGHT ANYONE WHO KNEW HIM HAS EVER SEEN, GOD HAS CALLED HIM TO REST. PEACE AND JOY IN THE FATHER FOR A BATTLE WELL FOUGHT, AND A LIFE OF SERVICE TO SHARING GODS LOVE IN THOUGHT WORD AND DEED.
