Not sure what to say?

To my sisters and brother:

Although his soul is now at rest

And free from care and pain;

This world would seem like heaven

If we had him back again.

But still we say,"His will be done,"

His soul is with the best,

And we who grieve for him today

Are the ones who loved him best.

The circle has been broken again, we must stay strong and keep our hands in God. We know that Dad is now with Mom, Jackie and the twins. May God Bless each one of you.



Love your baby sister -- Joyce

May your dad rest in peace and you

will be comforted to know his life

of suffering is now subsided....

God bless you all, Doris & Larry Milstead and the rest of the King family..

Quote:

"I give you this one thought to keep--

I am with you still--I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow,

I am the diamond glints on snow,

I am the sunlight on ripened grain,

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush,

I am the swift, uplifting rush

of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not think of me as gone--

I am with you still--in each new dawn."

May your troubled heart

find peace and comfort in the knowledge

that you are never alone.

May God's presence ease

your trembling spirit and give you rest.

He knows how you feel.

He is ever aware of your circumstances

and ready to be your strength,

your grace, and your peace.

He is there to cast sunlight

into all of your darkened shadows,

to send encouragement through the love

of friends and family, and

to replace your weariness with new hope.

God is your stronghold,

and with Him as your guide,

you need never be afraid.

No circumstances can block His love.

No grief is too hard for Him to bear.

No task is too difficult

for Him to complete.

When what you are feeling

is simply too deep for words

and nothing anyone does or says

can provide you with the relief you need,

God understands.

He is your provider --

today, tomorrow, and always.

And He loves you.

Cast all of your cares on Him...

and believe.

Don't think of him as gone away- his journey's just begun life holds so many facets-- this earth is only one. Just think of him as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no pain and sorrows. Think how he must be wishing that we could know, today how nothing but our sadness can really pass away. And think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched for "Nothing Loved Is Ever Lost"-- and he was loved so much.

May your heart be filled with peace in your time of sorrow, And may you find comfort In God's love and tender care!



May God Bless You All
