Just found out about this… been a while since I have seen him..man I have some fun memories of stuff we sit and talked about when we were both younger.I read where it said he had accepted the Lord, that makes my heart sing. I know he has been sick for a while,so I know now he is well and sitting at the feet of his and mine's Father. Rest now and wait. I will be there one day T.C. Prayers for the family to have peace during this time also.
