On the anniversary of his daughter's death, he had this to say:
All her life I took special care of Shannon. All her life she took special care of me. I fed her her meals. She fed me my peace. I held her hand, keeping her body steady. She held my hand, keeping my soul steady. She looked up to me in trust. Now I look up to her in hope. She no longer steals into my room. But every Lord’s Day I am lifted up to her, to my bride, and to the One who in His grace brought us all together, and will bring us together again. So I weep not from emptiness, but from fullness. Jesus walked out of a tomb alive. That changes everything.
