Obituary

“For now, I am ready to be offered and the time of my departure is at hand.
I have fought a good fight.
Henceforth, there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the
Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that day;
and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.”

II Timothy 4:6-8
