Koplin Strong

A ten year long journey, uphill both ways, ended last night, toward the end of the day. The wife of my brother, the mother of his sons, a farewell message from the tips of their tongues. Two young boys have now become men, a battle was fought and has come to its end. In the still of the night a soul was led home, with our Lord Jesus Christ we are never alone. The love for our family is second to none, I couldn’t be more proud, of both of these sons. With passion and strength, they’ve completed their task, God please hear me now and grant what I ask. I ask for your guidance and strength for these men, please light their new path and bless them again. In these upcoming days there will be one more fight, please keep them strong and show them your light. Mark Koplin 7-24-2023

It is always painful to lose a loved one Mark and yet I see yours is a close knit family, a rarity in these days, a blessing. May the hearts of all impacted find peace again, accepting the will of God, in this world of transience.
