David Goddard - Loving Husband, Father, Grandfather

 In honor of my wonderful, Christian Brother-in-Law

 David Lee Goddard

Recipe
Double Easel Card - Kraft cardstock for base
Designer Kraft cardstock for all mats
Cloud punch - recycled cardboard cut first and then Kraft cardstock cloud layered on top
Clear Dollar Stamp - I know my Shepherd's Voice & Cross
Memento Black Ink
pop up tape

David Lee Goddard, 64, of Alger, Mich., passed away April 13, 2014 at his home.  He married his adoring wife, Linda Castle, on March 2, 1968, and together the couple raised two sons, Scott L. Goddard, of Charlotte, Mich. and Robb L. Goddard, of Dallas, TX.

 Linda, I love you so much - I am here for you - and I mourn with you in the loss of Dave. May God bring you comfort and strength to help you through this difficult time. God Bless - I will always love you sis!, Gail

 I made several of these double easel cards for family members in honor of Dave.  My heart is broken and I am mourning for my brother-in-law, Dave. 

The same week Dave passed away,  I lost a very dear friend from church, Ted Klarman as well. His wife is Linda and this is a difficult time for Linda klarman as well.  Both families can use your prayers.

I know to be absent from the body is to be with Christ - and it will take me some time to go through the mourning process - I am faithful that God is a good God all of the time. 

I am blessed that both of these men - Dave and Ted accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior many years ago and served their Lord during their earth journey. 

Do you know Jesus? Time is short on earth my friend ~ Jesus came to give us Eternal Life with him forever. Believe the Gospel - Jesus Died, was buried and rose again on the 3rd day and be saved! For all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. Jesus stands at the door of your heart - he is knocking - will you will let him in.
