When times are dark
And grief fills the heart,
There’s ONE, that can give rest.
HE is always close and understands best.

When the pain goes deep
And we scream, why?
Always remember ,There’s ONE , who fully understands, our hurting cry.

When we try to be strong
But all seems to be going wrong.
There’s ONE, who will be your ,stay,
And can drive all doubts and torments away.

JESUS is the ONE, to HIM, hold fast,
I pray you will receive HIS help and healing, that will forever last.

Your family is in our prayers. So sorry for your loss. It’s just hard to believe he was a very good man! We had a few chats when I lived on the farm usually when he was rounding up cattle lean into God, he’s got you
