Our hearts were saddened to hear of the passing of 'Punchy'. Now, he has returned to his creator, for the Word of God says: 'to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord'. He has answered the call we all have to respond to. Be comforted family knowing that he is at peace. Vera & Sherry

I so sorry for your loss. I hope you find comfort in Psalm 34:18. 'God is close to the broken-hearted and saves those crushed in spirit. 'Make God your comfort. He 'heals the broken-hearted.' Psalm 147:3 and provides 'refuge and strength in times of distress.' Psalm 46:1
