Houston's passing

Houston passed away at about 5:20 a.m. He knew he was going so Jim and Dakota were able to spend the last short time together sharing their love, goodbye's and tears. His transition was peaceful for which we thank the Lord but those who are left have brokenhearts that only the Lord will be able to bring healing to and we know He is well able. Much could be said of Houston and the 16 short years he was here. The one thing that sums up the character and stature of this young man was with the imminent facing him he continued to be concerned for how his dad and brother would do and that they would be ok. There are 50 and 60 year old people who have not grown into such stature. So continue to pray for Jim, Dakota, Michelle(a good friend and treasure) and the rest of family and friends. That peace amidst the grief would continue to cover them. Details will be posted about arrangements as soon as they are available.
