Isaiah 40:31 (New International Version)
31 but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
We loved him always and he will forever be missed. He loved new adventures and he absolutely cherished my "Aunt T".
Heaven is a little richer and all of us are a little poorer with Bill's passing. Troylene, you are in our prayers daily.
MY best wishes goes out to the family of Bill. I know everyone is upset over her death. But Gods word the bible at Acts 24:15 helps us to appreciate " that there will be a ressurection of both the righteous and unrighteous." Continue to encourage one another!
Troyleen you are in our thoughts and prayers.
