Final Walk

In life we live and there comes a time when we are called home to be with the Lord. So on October 26 Jerry's dad Herbert Sells passed away. He was 95 years old. He was a great Father, Father-in-law, Papa,a Great Papa and also a brother. He had many many friends in life and everywhere he went he always enjoyed talking to them. He always had something to talk about. My son-in-laws always enjoyed sitting down and listening to him tell them things. He always loved life and loved his family. He was a good christen man.For the last couple of years his health had gradually gotten worse and the Lord decided his time on earth was over and he called him home. In life he had seen so many different changes take place. He lived through them and lived a long life. In life he loved his family his home and his farm, but his one love was raising horses. He raised 99 colts and he wanted that 100th but it just wasn't to be. Because of this love his Grandson Josh payed his Papa the greatest tribute he could think of, he had his Papa's body carried to the final destination in a wagon that Herbert had built himself and pulled by a beautiful pair of horses. If Herbert could have told you he would have said this would have been the way he wanted his final ride to be and he would have been so happy. Josh we all love you for thinking of this and paying this tribute to him. He will be missed so much by his family, but we know he is home now with the Lord.
