The Heavenly gates just opened wide and a loving voice said “come”. Although his soul is not at rest and free from care and pain, this would be like heaven if we had him back again. It broke our hearts to lose him but he did not go alone, for part of us went with him the day called him home. We love you. Written by Mae, wife, children and grandchildren.
