I am so sorry for your loss. Death is never a welcomed event, but it is an event we do not look forward to but we all experience. I have been greatly encouraged and comforted by God’s words in the Bible. At John 5:28,29 Jesus promised that soon there will be a resurrection. In Revelation 21:3,4 God promise’s that soon there will be no more pain and death will be no more. Until that time comes, may your many memories bring you much comfort and may the Jehovah God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ grant you comfort in your time of need.
We are saddened to hear of Gar’s passing. He was such a fun guy with a great sense of humor. He was “Sir Speedy” on his scooter. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. Blessings.
