The Mansions of the Lord Click the picture for music
To fallen soldiers let us sing Where no rockets fly nor bullets wing Our broken brothers let us bring To the Mansions of the Lord No more bleeding, no more fight No prayers pleading through the night Just divine embrace, eternal light To the Mansions of the Lord. Where no mothers cry and no children weep We will stand and guard though the angels sleep Through the ages safely keep The Mansions of the Lord. |

The good Lord surely will take this little guy to HIS side for an eternity we yet to imagine. May HE grant this little guy's parents and other loved ones, only fine memories, as their grieve slowly disapears in due time.

How tragic that a child, especially one so young, should ever be so ill at all. How unfathomably heartbreaking that his illness took his life.
The only ray of light in times like this is the sure knowledge that even as we speak, this little Chief is in the perfect care of our Lord.
Prayers for the family.
