He left us about eight months ago, God called him and led the way. My Daddy was so sweet and kind. He had so many friends — There was no one who disliked him. God loved him enough to forgive him The mistakes he had been in. Daddy will have to suffer no more. He was so terribly sick and alone. He lived a little over a year after his accident. But now is living in a Heavenly home. We know why Daddy left us, There was another job for him to do. Why should we be so sad and lonely ? God will soon call us to meet Father And all of our dreams will come true. We’re all waiting to go to meet Daddy. It will be such a wonderful day! If we live and trust in Jesus He’Jl guide us and lead the way. BY HIS DAUGHTER, SHELBY JtEiAiN NIXON.
