Rest In Peace, Gabe S.

Tomorrow afternoon is Gabe's, Caleb's friend's, funeral. :/ I'm not sure if I'll be able to go but I'll be praying for the Soucy and Castonguay family.

I've always loved the song Rock of Ages. Not until recently have I really noticed the beauty of the lyrics. The last verse brought me to tears the Sunday after I found out about Gabe's death.

While I draw this fleeting breath, 
when mine eyes shall close in death, 
when I soar to worlds unknown, 
see thee on thy judgment throne, 
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, 
let me hide myself in thee.
 
-Augustus M. Toplady 
 
 
I believe Gabe is in heaven now. :) 
 
(to avoid any confusion, this is not my nephew Gabe)
