Malachi 4:6
Great Uncle Francis Thacker passed away this morning. He was old and it was not unexpected yet each passing is marked with sadness, particularly for those who are left to remember and to miss their departed loved one.
He was a kind and a good man. He was a farmer and loved his land. We were able to visit a few times over the years and I admired his gentle nature, kind smile and strong hands. He and Ingrid gave Hannah her first little toy, well the first one she loved anyway. It was a soft sun that had a pull string to play music. She loved to hold it and chew on it and to hear it's sweet song. Funny the things you remember.
Rob has many good memories of that generation in his family. We will be traveling to the family farm for his service.
I know he is happy, pain free, strong and young again and in the company of the Savior. We will celebrate his life and find joy in the promise of eternal life in God's kingdom even as we mourn.
