The Angels Must Be Singing Now!

Today a very dear friend of ours died today. His name is Tony Ogden. We know he is in heaven, not in anymore pain. We will miss him greatly, but we rejoice in knowing that he is with the angels singing praises to God! He always loved to sing here so we have no doubt he is singing in heaven.
He was battling with cancer here on earth. Thankfully there are no battles in heaven.
He leaves behind a courageous wife and three beautiful daughters, one of which will be having her first child in the spring. Please pray for them. They will be missing their husband and father. We will missing our friend, but though it's our loss it's heaven's gain.
When we told the kids, they said, "Tony gets to see Jackson now. Will he be friends with him?" I started crying of course... and have to admit felt a twinge of jealousy. Wow, this is hard.
God is so good. We have a Father Who loves us and a Savior Who died for us, all so we could live forever and ever with Him. I'm so glad we will see each other again someday!
Tony, just this Christmas

Donnie & Tony at Christmas

Beck,
Yes and we will get to see Jackson too and the others you have lost. I will always remember Tony and his daughter singing at your wedding reception and what a great job they did on that Celine Dion song:)
We are sorry for your loss at this time.
Love you,
Mom
