d.r.

here we sit again,
in the arrival of death.
it came quietly, quickly, 
he did not fight it. 
he is Home,
our hearts can rejoice. 
he is Home, 
our hearts ache to say 
goodbye. 

you were so loved, grandpa roelofs. 
your life is a legacy of 
faithfulness and a steadfast love 
for Christ and others.

your light has shined so bright in
the darkness.
rest in the arms of Jesus.
