February 4, 2021 at 9:50 amMy prayers are with family. To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord. He was blessed to live a long life but that doesn’t take the pain away. Please lean on God and Family during this time. Weeping may endure for a night but JOY comes in the morning. Blessings and Love
