Loss of a Grandfather
I am sorry for the loss of Bob Stone. I haven't seen him since graduation. I remember that everyone it seems had long bushy hair in those days. He was always a nice guy and he was in my homeroom through High School. He died too early in life. In Corthians 15:51 It says Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep but we shall be changed...Bob has changed from life on earth to life eternal. Not only Bob, but to all who believe that Jesus is Lord and Savior. We say goodbye to Bob in the flesh, but we who believe, will see him again in Heaven. I look forward to seeing my friends and family but most of all to my savior and Bob's savior Jesus Christ.
Prayers
Cody and Family,
I am so srry for our loss... My thoughts and prayers are with all of you..
Love Aunt Lillian
