Duncan, you will be missed, whether you knew that or not. I should have come around more, but none of us knows which day will be the last. You began as my client, but you became a friend...and a very dear one. Go and find the peace you struggled to find in life, and I will see you in the next one. Goodbye, Duncan.

Psalm 39:4 "LORD, reveal to me the end of my life and the number of my days. Let me know how transitory I am. 5 You, indeed, have made my days short in length, and my life span as nothing in Your sight. Yes, every mortal man is only a vapor. 6 Certainly, man walks about like a mere shadow. Indeed, they frantically rush around in vain,gathering possessions without knowing who will get them. 7 "Now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in You. 8 Deliver me from all my transgressions; do not make me the taunt of fools. 9 I am speechless; I do not open my mouth because of what You have done. 10 Remove Your torment from me; I fade away because of the force of Your hand. 11 You discipline a man with punishment for sin, consuming like a moth what is precious to him; every man is a mere vapor. 12 "Hear my prayer, LORD,and listen to my cry for help; do not be silent at my tears. For I am a foreigner residing with You, a sojourner like all my fathers.
We all know that Duncan was a man of many struggles, we all are. While Duncan's struggles were visible and he was not afraid to be open about them, others hide theirs, but we are all sinners struggling and our only hope is in Christ. Our life's but a vapor, our lives full of struggle, only point to the awesome greatness and value of our Savior and the healing, the forgiveness, the grace that He extends, to you, to me, to Duncan, forever. May God's grace and the knowledge and the power of Christ's ressurection be in your hearts and minds forever. Jesus loved Duncan and He loves you, too!
