"Life is but a stopping point…A pause in what's to be…A resting place upon the road…To sweet eternity…We all have different journeys…Different paths along the way…We all were meant to learn some things…But never meant to stay…Our destination is a place…Far greater than we know…For some the journey's quicker…For some the journey's slow…And when the journey finally ends…We'll claim a great reward…And find an everlasting peace…Together with the Lord".

--The bond that our family shares is a golden circle of love, not broken by this sad loss, but rather strengthened by the precious memories that we shall hold forever in our hearts. We are eternally blessed that God connected us all to you.
