August 15, 2019 at 10:16 amJohn 14:1-4 “Let not your hearts be troubled, Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.”
We’re going to miss you Edgar T. As your father Edgar, Sr. used to say, “T” stands for Terrific, and that you were! You wee one of the nicest and friendliest guys in school, who treated everyone with kindness and respect. May God continue to bless your family and friends during this sad time!
Godspeed
