"Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints" (Ps 116:15)
What a victory for Grant to be in the presence of his Savior and praising His Lord completely healed!!!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you experience this separation, but know you look forward to the day when you will join him in glory to praise and worship the LORD together.

These last years have been so hard, but Grant is finally with Jesus. It is time to celebrate the good times of his life. I remember his big smile and the good times of visiting at your home and my parents home in North Dakota. He even visited here in Colorado and we enjoyed the visits. Blessing and sympathy to your family at this time.

Although it has been many years, I remember as a kid what a nice man he was. Always had a smile and a kind word.
I am so very sorry for your loss. May peace be with you at this time.
