For our citizenship is in Heaven, from which we also eagerly wait the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.
Philippians 3:20-21
Our hearts are heavy this morning as we let you all know that my dad took his last breath on earth last night just before midnight surrounded by his wife, kids and sister. My dad fought so hard this past year but we take comfort in knowing that he is no longer suffering and his body has been made new in Heaven with no sickness or broken bones and with a perfect heart.
The one thing my dad said repeatedly was that he wasn’t depressed about his diagnosis because he knew where he was going. He also said that his prayer was that he would not have any pain while he lived out his last days and God blessed him and answered his prayers. My dad was such a special person and he was touched by all the love shown to him these last couple weeks. Everyone’s prayers and kind words have been felt and we are so thankful for each of them. Please continue to pray for our family as we all rally together to help each us continue this difficult journey through the next few days. Also through the months and year as we experience firsts without dad. We are so thankful for the memories that we have and will then cherish forever.
❤️ Connie, Paula, Ed, & Victoria
