“Let not your heart be troubled, ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions if it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And I go and prepare a place for you I will come again and receive you unto myself: there-where I am, there ye may be also.” John 14: 1-3

Jerry, I never met you. All I know is that Viv aka Tighty Ighty loved you. That was good enough for me. You read about husband and wives passing right after each other. I never ever thought that I would know a couple that it actually happened to. HE is waiting with open arms to receive you, and Viv is standing right beside him. RIH
