Moving ON

Omie loved the ocean so much that he would often times travel to the other side of the island with his speed boat securely connected to his SUV and he would later on go boating as soon as he reached his desired destination. This picture was displayed beside his casket during his wake. This is how he will be remembered an adventurous man who in the words of his niece Johanne was "full of life." Now that he has been finally laid to rest I think Omie would want all of us who have gone through the longest February of our lives waiting, anticipating, hoping and finally mourning to move on and to celebrate the fact that Omie will now enjoy driving his speedboat above the vast expanse of heavenly waters in the company of Jesus. The man full of life in his living years is now enjoying a different kind of life the one that is for eternity. You will be missed my friend, Hang Loose!!!

Where, O death is your victory? Where, O death is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 15: 55-57
