Dear Betty, Chris, Sherry, Marc, Maryann, Brandon and Ashlynn. Although words cannot begin to ease the sorrow of your loss, please know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers. We are here to share in your grief and hope to bring some comfort to your hearts. May God brighten your days and give you the strength to carry on as the memories you cherish of your husband, father and grandfather bring some peace to your broken hearts. He is following the path God laid for him and took His hand when he heard Him call, he just could not stay another day to laugh, to love, to work or play, tasks left undone must stay that way for he found that place at the close of day. If his parting has left a void, then fill it with remembering joy, a friendship shared, a laugh, a hug, ah yes, these things, he too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow. He wishes you the sunshine of tomorrow. His life’s been full, he savoured much. Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch. Perhaps his time seemed all too brief. Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with him that God wanted him now, He has set him free.
Ralph Abromeit and Vanessa Smith
