His rst response when told of his condition was, in hands and he lived every day in his faith.
His infectious smile warmed the hearts of all who knew him, and his kindness toward others knew no bounds. His greatest wish was that everyone receive the saving grace of Christ, and to live with the joy of their own salvation every day.
