Obituary

“For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.  I have fought a good fight.  I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:  Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day:  and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.”  II Timothy 4: 6 – 8
