It has been a very up and down weekend. The up was we had fun at the rummage sale we had. We didn't sell a lot, and their weren't very many shoppers, but we got rid of a lot of junk ....OOPS.......I mean treasures. The down was a good friend passed away early Saturday morning.
It was a very long day because at 4 am we got the call that a very dear and close friend of our had just died. I think everyone was shell shocked for the rest of the day, and in some ways we still are. How do you accept the death of a man who meant so much to us all. Not just his family, but also to the friends who knew his so well and considered him family. How do you say good-bye.
Mr. Roy was everyone's friend. You just couldn't help but like and respect him. I think that is the word that brings to mind one of his characteristics. Respect is hard to come by and usually must be earned. But once in awhile there comes along a person that just naturally gets respect from everyone. He also was a Godly man and had a close relationship with the Lord. If there is just one thing that I have learned from him is that the Lord is here, within us all. You just have to reach out and he is there.
I know I will cry some more the day of his funeral. We all are shedding many tears for him. But we all need to remember....He is with God. He isn't in any pain. He is free. I know that the Lord had his hand out reaching for Mr. Roy on Saturday morning, and in his other hand he had a pair of golden wings.
We Love you Mr. Roy and will miss you at our card games. Until Thursday.....read a book, make love and eat chocolate.
