The last piece of advice he gave is to grieve till the shock is past and then be glad for him that he's home in heaven with his Lord and loved ones. All pain is past. "To those I love and those who love me: Be happy that we had so many wonderful years. I thank you for the love we've shared but now its time to travel on alone. One day we'll meet on heaven's shore and I'll greet and welcome you with a smile welcome home."
