Celebration in White and Red

Though we mourn the earthly loss of our loved one, we celebrate his eternal life in Christ in white and red.

We are disappointed that we missed celebrating your upcoming 99th birthday with you at our annual family reunion this summer.

Nevertheless, we rejoice that we had you for the 98+ years as our Uncle Buddy -- looking out for our family, praying for us, and making us laugh.

And, most importantly, we rejoice that you are having the greatest family reunion ever with Jesus and all of our other ancestors in the heavenly throne room of Our Great Lord God Almighty.

We are thankful for your life here. Now go in peace and enjoy your eternal life over there.
