We often ask the question "WHY?", but only God has the answer. God saw a beautiful flower that He wanted to add to his heavenly garden and He plucked it. Neighbor was that flower and he will continue to bloom giving all that admire it a sense of belonging. Ms. Maxine, you will miss him, as will I, but rest in the comfort of knowing that he walked in God's light. I will miss the warm hellos and the "Don't work too hard" greetings, or the simple waves that he gave each day. Peace be with you and your family.
Your Neighbor (across the street).
