Brandon Higginbotham

“And God will wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying. Neither shall there be anymore pain, for the former things are passed away.” Revelations 21:4

To my family and friends that have gathered for my great celebration. Don’t be angry with God because the death angels came earlier than planned. I know it’s also hard to understand why people are taken from this world at such a young age, but I want each of you to understand that my fate was determined by God Almighty. Although I am young, I’ve lived a full and happy life. I have no regrets! As a family, I pray that you will find comfort in knowing that nothing happens unless God allows it.
