Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Character, conviction and wisdom all utilize the same vision and now your beloved spirit and soul float gently each and every moment high above in Our Creator's celestial kingdom where you now patrol His streets of golden pathways and those pearly gates of gallantry.
