James Ronald Gouger

He was a role model, a fabulous father, a good and true friend to so many.
He was honest, Never lied and he had great integrity and was true to himself, and to me. He awoke each morning knowing that he would do the right thing, and to tell me that he loved me. He was kind and thoughtful. Always putting the needs of others before his own. He could always see things clearly and thoughtfully. He was wise in all things that dealt with human nature. And he loved me with all his heart.

Regardless of where God takes us, I will always go on trying to be the best that he saw in me. To follow his lead, to love God as sincerely and joyfully as he did. He is a hard act to follow, but humble and full of grace. Now, you tell me, was it just plain luck or did God select him for me?
