Death notice for the town of: Kitchener, Province: Ontario
If not for this man, my life would be very different. He saw in people what they rarely seen in themselves. He encouraged me to find the man that GOD made me to be, and not to accept the one the world had created of me. With steadfast love, he taught me how to see love. He was a solid example of what GOD can do for those who love him. Thank you pastor!! Rest, our LORD will be here soon!!
Romans 8:28
