    I commemorate the passing of a loved one today and the quote from Hugo spoke loudly to me.
    I needed a little hope and a little courage today.
    Thank you.

    It is written: “He is the God of the living and not of the dead.” As his Angels keep him informed he is always knowing what is going on down here.
