There is a news channel 12 ted this is a and i know you preached dozens of funerals in your career, if not more than i know it's, futile? Why somebody in the prime of hi life living and enjoying life like that ... , taken from us all to some one is the biblical perspective on that if you had the bullet down yeah well you know we look at life through our eyes are finit minds we don't see as god sees god sees the whole plan and so we look at it as the temperatur in the now and god sees it as the picture of you. The bible says yesterday scriptural scriptures to be absent from th body is to be present with the lord and someone like john who knew where he was headed to lov the lord and now he's in heaven. I think i saw someone of your coworkers there posted. He's no with some other family members that he mentioned in so you kno they say that death is but a shadow so you know shipping weather guy with the sons up easier shadow shadow is not a real thing shadow was just there and so we have lived in the shadow to get to the real thing that's with death.

I would tell his daughters that you guys are so blessed you had a dad that you know love to a tiered you and would do anythin for you and you are blessed to have the and just hold onto that member. He was so proud of you and you and i've talked with hi about about the girls before and about where they are and just how i am. How proud he was of them were there headed in just to know that in the milestones of life to, all the big occasions. Those big things that your dad is still i believe you still there smiling on you and there and and part of his living inside of each of them had very well put your words in a great deal to me.
