Love you

I just wanted to tell you how much you are miss!! I love you and you will never be forgotten!! Love always Desiree

Almost a year after my friend of 8 years has passed I still get tears in my eyes when I think of him. I miss our visits and weekly phone chats. I miss his humor. And I miss his spunk. I will never forget him because he has a very special place in my heart.

John 5:28 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.
