Memorial Tribute

Life on the earth to all is reality. However, it possesses ephemerality. Living may be full of hardship or sublime. No matter what, we are here for a short time. Despite unpredictable events and trends, we must share this world with our neighbors and friends. We convey the good blessings that our Lord sends. They are perpetuated until our life ends. There is a reserved place in heaven for all. Our Lord God takes in all souls that heed His call. We should love neighbors and friends unselfishly. Those with God, recognizing His sovereignty, ones who live their whole lives altruistically, will dwell in His Kingdom for eternity. Our dear friend has fulfilled his obligations. He has passed all his trials and tribulations. Another soul has departed for heaven. Our beneficent Lord God, please take Joe in. Robert Pettit To my cousin Joseph Pettit Sr. who passed away January 27, 2011
