There will be no viewing following the eulogy
I want to let you know that Ive moved. My father,
who informed me that my new home was ready and I
can move immediately, received me. My new home is a
beautiful sight to behold. It is located in an exclusive
area just off a serene celestial shore and it sits behind a
beautiful pearly white gate.
Of course the streets are paved with gold
and everyday is Sabbath. There is Peace, Love, Joy
and Happiness. There is no more pain to bare, no strife
or discontent. There is only sweet serenity everywhere.
I could go on and on about my new home, but I have to get
fitted for my new wings.
So let me give you my new address:
Mr. Earnest Michael King

know the number,
He is listed in the Bible on every page
