Cedric "Navigator" Wiggins

We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. – II Corinthians 5:8

As you celebrate the end of my life’s journey, I pray that each of you will find comfort in knowing that a loving and compassionate God knows what is best for each of us. I always had this inclination that my time on Earth was limited, so, I tried to take advantage of my brief time on Earth showing everyone how much I loved them. Take all the love that I have shown each of you and use it to comfort your pain when you start to miss me from this world
