To the family Tim and I send our most sincere condolences. The bible states Our loss is Heavens Gain, so true but our loss hurts so much when its our Mama and Daddy, the missing never stops nor do we want it to, it is the seperation our heart grieves but I remember the words said to Tim when his daddy left this world (POPS) Its not Goodbye, I will see you in the morning!!! Pastor Aaron Boggs spoke these words to Tim. Your Daddy no longer suffers of being trapped in that broken down body and mind, torment for the family who is the caregiver, the family standing out looking in knowing there loved one has been struck with this horrid disease and no longer recognizes his own family but Glory to God, He knows everyone now, God has broken that chain of loss of memory and now this dear sweet man suffers no more and he is now free. But for now the missing and grieving begins for you all his dear dear family but Praise God he made a way to see him again in a land where we will never grow old!!! May God be with each and everyone of you in this most difficult time and in the coming days!!! Sending much love and many many prayers of peace and comfort!!! Your all in our thoughts and prayers, Tim and Margie Blubaugh
