A Place Called Heaven
I have a place that waits for me
A place I love, called Calvary Where angels sing and rejoice all day
And children laugh, run and play. Here the Masters holds my hand
As we walk through Heaven’s land. This is the place I’ve dreamed of for so long So beautiful, so heavenly like the angel’s song.

We Will Miss You
We miss you
As we cling to the memories of you that you’ve left behind We’re reminded of your strength and courage
So many things we will miss
Yet we find some comfort in knowing we will see you again
We know you’ll be there to dry our tears
The hardest thing is saying Good-bye and there aren’t enough words to say how much you will be missed.
Love Always Your Children
Sierra, Camille, Michelle, and Murl
To Our Brother
There’s no way I can write all I’m feeling inside
And you know how hard it is to say Goodbye
So let me say, Thank you for always keeping it real!
You were always on the move and you never ceased to make me laugh.
I’ve always admired your courage and drive to keep pushing forward.
You were a motivating force in my life.
I’ve always loved you man, and I will miss you my brother.
I’ll see you when I cross that river…
Rest Brother-in-Law Rest

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything, tell God your needs, and don’t forget to thank him for his answer. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. Philippians 4:6, 7
