    Even though he struggled with Alzheimer’s, Dementia and several major illnesses in the past few years, they never took his love for the Lord, his family and friends away. He still met each day with a smile on his face and a joy in his heart. Even though we are sad and heartbroken and will miss him dearly we know he is right where he wants to be. God gives us this promise: “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18 “My flesh and heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” Psalm 73:26
