Today we get to celebrate Bob's life. Bob died this past weekend after a relatively quick decline due to cancer. The good news is that it really is a celebration. When I saw Bob shortly after the Doctors told him that there wasn't anything that they could do for him he was not depressed. In fact he wrote on some paper something along the lines of, "How exciting it will be to see what God is going to do now, God is Good!"
In these last two weeks the family came together and shared story after story of their lives together. There wasn't a time when I saw the family either in the hospital or at the hospice home that there wasn't laughter present. The joy that they shared together was heartening for all of us who saw them together.
This will not be a funeral of sadness, even though there may be a few tears shed, it will be a joyous celebration of life! Thanks Bob! For a life lived filled with faith, joy, and forgiveness. You will not be soon forgotten.
