Antione is with Jesus

On Monday night at his home, Antione went to heaven.  He was a wonderful man of God who faithfully worked at the mission since it was started.  He would always arrive at 6 am and was the last to leave around 6 pm and he would come 7 days a week.  Each day he lead devotions with the workers and was a great example to everyone around him of what a Godly servant should be like.
Our children, especially Robert, have had a special place in their heart for Antione.  Since his stroke in 2009 we have been sending a vehicle to his house every Sunday morning to pick him up and bring him to church.  The children all looked forward to saying hello to Antione each Sunday after service. 
Also every evening that we eat together in the dining hall with the mission staff Robert requests prayer for Antione.  When I shared with Robert yesterday that Antoine had died and went to heaven, he didn't understand.  I think he might realize what happened when he doesn't see him at church on Sunday.
He will be dearly missed.
Pray for his family as they go through this difficult time.
