I am sadden to say that I am sharing once again another sympathy card. He passed away a couple weeks ago but I waited to share this card because although he didn't die in the line of duty he did retire from the Air Force as a Colonel and he was much admired by so many people that he touched during his lifetime, and our church was lucky enough to have him as part of our congregation. He not only did so much for our church but all the members of the church, he was the kind of guy that if he saw you needed something he would do his best to help you. He died suddenly after a bike ride, had a heart attack, the day before his daughter graduated from College and his son is getting married next weekend. This family has gone through so much. He will be sorely missed but was such a great example to how we are to live our life.

Oh, my goodness, such a tragic time this gentleman's family is going through; heightened by the fact that his daughter is graduating and his son is getting married. Such sadness.

I was so sorry to hear of this wonderful man's loss. So sad you just never know.
Jim and I had a shock a day before my birthday when our neighbor told us that her husband died. It was a total shock, as I said before, he was only about 35, and we saw him the day before and talked to him.
