I have known Dub for several years, also all of his family. Dub has always been a friend to me. We use to go to the same Pentecostal Church together . There is no doubt that Dub is enjoying Heaven . Being with all the Loved ones that have gone on before. He will be sadly missed by the family members he is leaving behind. Also by the many friends that he had. Enjoy Heaven Dub.

My heart is overcome by grief, and yet I rejoice because my uncle Dub is now in the presence of God.
I will always treasure the time, and memories I have of him.
To Pam, Joe, and all the family
My prayer for you:
May God bless and keep you.
May His face shine upon you, and give you peace.
May He cover you with His love, and mercy today and always.
Much love to all of you.
