It's hard to say that I'm sad when a brother/sister in Christ passes away. I can't miss them because I know where they are. I shouldn't be sad because they aren't.
Right?
But I do miss those who go before us to Paradise. One of the kindest men I know was taken Home last week and I miss him.
And I'll tell you why.
-He never failed to hug and kiss my face EVERY Sunday.
-He told me (almost every Sunday) that if he was 40 years younger he would talk to my dad.
-He was concerned about my health and told me so every chance he got.
-He truly showed forth Christ in all he did and said.
-He loved his Lord, loved his church and loved his family...physical and spiritual.
-His smile was infectious and genuine.
And those are just a few....
Love you Dr Bill!
