    May you rest in the arms of the Lord who formed you from the dust of the earth. May holy Mary, the angels, and all the saints welcome you now that you have gone forth from this life. May Christ who was crucified for you, bring you freedom and peace. May Christ who died for you admit you into his garden of paradise.

    It’s hard to believe he’s gone.. he will be truly missed. I’ve always admire the love he had for his wife and children. They were his everything. .. he was so proud of his children and Grandchildren. On many occasions , he shared that with me. And just about every time I saw him , he would say something about how lost he would be with out pat.. I was blessed to know him, from his big smile and Laffs to the story’s and jokes we shared. I was proud to call him a friend, co worker and brother… God bless his family and friends. heaven as gain a a Great man ! Intill we meet again , big C rest in peace……
