Jami—thinking about you and your family during this difficult time. May the fond memories you have of your brother help comfort you at this tough time. I am confident he will find peace in the Lord. His struggle is over, and now he can find joy in the next world. Vanessa.
Jami- I have thought about your family all weekend. Please find peace in the fact your brother is truly resting and at peace. Many prayers have been said for you and your family and they will continue to be said.
God saw the road was getting tough, the hill was hard to climb. He gently closed those loving eyes and whispered, you are mine, come home and rest.
