A song sung at the funeral today was, "How beautiful heaven must be". I can expand on that by saying, "How exciting heaven must be". About 54 years ago, I recall my Mother (Alene) and our Dad being at the bedside of Greatgrandpa Zepphie Dunn, singing and having a prayer with him before his passing. What a great privelege it was for me, 54 years later, to be at Uncle Lesters bedside and saying a prayer for him, asking our Heavenly Father to give him strength for his Journey. Gonna miss you much. However, I would not want to wish you were back because you are now having an "exciting" time there.
