God saw him getting tired, and a cure was not to be so He put His arms around Him and whispered “Come to Me.” With tearful eyes we watched him suffer, and saw him slowly fade away. Although we loved him dearly, we could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands put to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best! Love you always Papa! Until we meet again! Jawana H. Wigley

I pray God’s immeasurable grace and unending comfort and peace will overshadow your family, and keep you all through this time of grief, and that through His indwelling Holy Spirit you may come to know how loving and gracious our Heavenly Father is, in all His ways as he directs our paths for His glory and our ever increasing faith and trust in Him for His will to be accomplished in each of our lives. Thank you for the opportunity you gave me to minister to your family. It was an honor.
