Thank YOU for your service son, a job well done ! Gone too soon, but served your life well. My condolences to the family.
To my dear brother in the Lord.

And look forward to seeing him again.
When the Lord also someday calls me home.
Time To Fly 🕊️
When I leave – this world behind.
Please don’t – mourn….
For peace and joy – I did find.
The Lord has wiped away – all the troubled tears from this face…
He has lifted me up – with the angels to a much better place.
Spending the rest of my existence.
In the Lord’s presence – for eternity.
No more pain or sorrows.
And – His loving face I do see.
If I was still on earth – those worldly troubles – would still plague me.
Now living in God’s – everlasting light.
Being totally free.
And will never go back – or come down.
No longer being able – to be sad or frown.
So thankful – this spirit can’t change.
Lord knows – Now – I cannot change.
It’s only bye – for a brief blink of an eye.
Before your body gets tired.
And it will be time – for it – to also fly.
Then – we’ll be reunited again.
It’s not a matter of if….
But when.
We will all be back together.
Our spirits soaring like birds.
In the Lord’s presence – forever – and ever.
