Home Forever

We received news early this morning from Mom R:

"Grandpa passed away this morning at 12:30 a.m. We celebrate his life. At present we hope to have his funeral Saturday afternoon. If so, his viewing will be Friday evening at the funeral home."


O Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land, As on thy highest mount I stand, I look away across the sea, Where mansions are prepared for me, And view the shining glory shore, My heav’n, my home forevermore!

Oh no! So sorry to hear this. Death of a Christian is so bittersweet...you'll miss him here on Earth but you are comforted that he got to see Jesus face to face today. And how glorious a feeling that is!!
My sincerest sympathies to the entire Repko family.

The song Beulah Land was one of Dad's favorites. Thinking about him singing it to my younger sister and me when we were little tykes brought tears. Thanks for the remembrance, Stephanie.
