I am so sorry for your loss. The world has lost someone very special. I’ve known him since we started first grade together and thought the world of him. I’ve thought of him often through the years, and he will always be in my heart. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
May Jehovah the God of love be with the family of Mr. Thrower. May each of you find comfort in REV 21:4 "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away
