Monticello, AR Friday, November 1, 2013 Gloria, I know there will be a great void in your family. This verse has always been so dear to me. Hope this eases the heartbreak."JUST THINK OF STEPPING ON SHORE AND FINDING IT HEAVEN.
OF TOUCHING A HAND AND FINDING IT GOD'S.
OF BREATHING NEW AIR AND FINDING IT CELESTIAL.
AND WAKING UP IN GLORY AND FINDING IT HOME."
God Bless all of you. LaNell

But most of all I knew I could call on him at anytime and he would be there. As this friend and bother goes to be with God i set here looking at the leasves of fall and can only be happy for the times we shared and know we like the leaves must fall to ground. Gloria i only found out about it today and am unable to be there. Just know you can find help in the verse Josh. 1:9. I will alway love you, Todd and Rick. If you ever need me I will be there as I know my friend and brother in Christ would be for me. My love always LamontGene Klund
