Indeed our Man, a Man of God, A humble Man, A father and an extremelyloving Husband has left us. We have been dealt God's hands once again and yes,the person He took from us reminds us all of our mortality. With that eternalsmile, He lies fast asleep in God's kingdom while we ponder over why him.Knowing him, I bet he'd have an eloquent explanation for all.” Thanks you.
