We are grieving the loss of our sweet Prophet. However, we know he is happy tonight- he must be having joyous reunions with his wife, his parents, and all that have gone on before him as he passed through the veil. As I tucked Jordan into bed tonite- she couldn't stop crying. He was a great man of God.
