    To Mrs. Ruiz and Diana,
    We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Al. We always enjoyed being around he and his good wife. We remember him when we first came to Frankfort and shopped at Kroger. He was always so polite and helpful.
    God Bless and comfort the Family at this time.

    To the Ruiz family
    I have known the family for a long time, my sister is part of the family. My deepest condolences for your loss.
    —————————
    I try to hold on to this world with everything I have
    But I feel the weight of what it brings, and the hurt that tries to grab
    The many trials that seem to never end, His word declares this truth,
    that we will enter in this rest with wonders anew
    But I hold on to this hope and the promise that He brings
    That there will be a place with no more suffering
    (Chorus)
    There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more
    fears
    There will be a day when the burdens of this place, will be no more,
    we’ll see Jesus face to face
    But until that day, we’ll hold on to you always
    I know the journey seems so long
    You feel you’re walking on your own
    But there has never been a step
    Where you’ve walked out all alone
    Troubled soul don’t lose your heart
    Cause joy and peace he brings
    And the beauty that’s in store
    Outweighs the hurt of life’s sting
    But I hold on to this hope and the promise that He brings
    That there will be a place with no more suffering
    (Chorus)
    I can’t wait until that day where the very one I’ve lived for always will
    wipe away the sorrow that I’ve faced
    To touch the scars that rescued me from a life of shame and misery
    this is why this is why I sing
    There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more
    fears
    There will be a day when the burdens of this place, will be no more,
    we’ll see Jesus face to face
    There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more
    fears
    There will be a day when the burdens of this place, will be no more,
    we’ll see Jesus face to face
    There will be a day, he will wipe away the tears,
    He will wipe away the tears,
    He will wipe away the tears,
    There will be a day.
