The following reminded me so much of my wonderful father-in-law might be saying…..
************************************************
My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest.
Remembering all, how I truly was blessed.
Continue traditions, no matter how small.
Go on with life, worry not about falls.
I do miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin,
Till the day comes, we’re together again.
*************************************************
Knowing Don rests now in the arms of our Lord Jesus Christ
should give us all the peace we seek as well as hope for the future.
