We want you all to know that you will always hold a special place in our hearts. Although the joy he brought to us daily will be greatly missed, we have the assurance of knowing that he is with OUR SAVIOR! 1 Thessalonians 4:13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope.
