A Light in the Darkness |

Christmas present to Arleen & George Marino’s immediate family |
For quite some time we have thought about telling you what
we will always remember about Jude Alexander and what his presence on this earth meant in our lives. What will we remember first? Will it be his strength and power to fight as long as he did? Or his small, but gentle spirit? And then, there was his beautiful face! We shall remember all of this and so much more. I once compared Jude to a candle. A candle casts a soft and steady light and brings a tranquil and safe feeling in the darkness. Candlelight can give us a sense of peace and some of our most thoughtful moments can come in a room lit only by a single candle. In the middle of what have seemed like our darkest moments, Jude has been a little candle flickering in the darkness and although it was time for his candle to go out on earth, we know that his light is burning brightly in heaven and know that his candle will light our lives forever. |
