The heavens opened and one of their own entered into the waiting arms of Jesus. When one comes home it is a celebration of joy, for they have lain aside that of the past and are now home. Prayers for all the family during my sweetheart's homegoing. She will be missed, but we must endured our race until we finish and join her and the others that have gone before. In his grace.
