Farewell to president

It’s with great sadness that we lost a great patriot, veteran, true friend and a strong believer in Jesus Christ. Likewise, he believed in heaven. This person is former President George H.W. Bush.

Back in 1988, his wife Barbara came to El Dorado to campaign for her husband. The downtown merchants were there to greet her. One of the merchants gave her some muffins and other treats to take on the plane with her. Barbara passed away back at the early part of this year.

Their son, George W. Bush, came to El Dorado and spoke to the high school students.

Their memory will linger on forever. Now they are both reunited in heaven, along with their daughter. There are riches in heaven like a glorified body, a robe and a crown, not to mention a mansion not made with human hands.
