Ad (425x293)
"Though his life was taken far too soon, his love was not."
"It lives on in the memories he created the values he passed down, and the lives he shaped forever.
He will be remembered not for the way he died, but for the way he lived - and for the love he gave so freely.
He is gone from our sight, but never from our hearts. We love you and you will be missed for the rest of our lives.
As a family, we kindly ask for respect and understanding during this difficult time, and we are grateful for your support and prayers. Keep praying for us."
