*****************************************************************************
FUNERAL MISSION IS POSTPONED FOR REASONS STATED BELOW:
The funeral is now on hold pending raising of funds to pay for it.
The mortuary who has the Hero (not a true funeral home) is putting the services on hold and starting to charge additional storage fees.
They will not conduct the services without a payment of $3800 in full up front. They claim only afterwards can a claim be made with the VA to reimburse the family for the fee.
I will let everyone know when this is resolved and the funeral is scheduled.

Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through.
Morning
Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.
