But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our dearly beloved, a cherished soul who has gained his mansion on the hilltop. He brought immense joy to our lives and left a permanent mark on everyone who had the privilege of knowing
him. Though he is no longer with us, his spirit and the memories shared will forever remain in our hearts.
