SAD DAY

My Uncle Duane passed away on Saturday night after a long battle with Huntington's Disease. While we are comforted that he is at peace and hanging out with the angels, it is always a tough time to deal with the why's and the sadness that follows a loss. Please keep my entire family in your prayers as they hold the Wake this evening and the Funeral tomorrow.

So sorry to hear, but also I know your family may find some peace in this coming to an end. I like the quote, because truly, we should rejoice...and be happy for your uncle, that he is where we all long to be someday!
We will pray for the loss your family has suffered and that you all may reach peace with God's grace.
