The Angels Rejoice

I can hear the angels rejoicing even now as one of their own enters in through the pearly gates. This past Saturday, my 95 yr old Great Uncle Walter went home to be with the Lord. He was an amazing man of God who taught Sunday school until he was 90. His faith in God was paramount and evident by his request made on his death bed when he told his son to make sure they handed out tracks at his funeral. Uncle Walter was a loving man who always had a joke to tell us and constantly told me & Jen growing up that we needed to find good Baptist boys to marry. Well, we listened to him and are very happy we did. After 30 years of blindness, I bet seeing the sights of heaven is even more special. I am sad to see him go but joyful he has received his reward!

Looking forward to meeting your uncle some day!
