Thanks so much for all of the many expressions of kindness and support and prayer you have sent to me and my family during the five months since Dad’s stroke. It is has been a very challenging time but also a very good experience as we have had many sweet times with Dad and have been able to express over and over to him how much we love him and appreciate him. The funeral service appropriately honored Dad but focused on the Lord and on Heaven.
If you were not able to attend the funeral service, we can send you a recorded copy of it or you can listen to it online at www.fpcjackson.org/old_recent.htm where it will be available soon. We often read to Dad in the last few weeks Psalm 139, which we refer to as Dave’s Psalm for my brother who died at age 19 in 1970; because it was the Psalm that Dave wanted us to read to him the night before he died from cancer. My brother Barry was reading to Dad from Revelation 21 about Heaven at the very time that Dad took his last breath. The Lord is good and faithful always and we look forward to seeing Dad again in the New Heavens and the New Earth.
