| Why my Son went to heaven:
One day God was looking all around heaven and saw a lot of things that needed fixing.Even the pearly gates squeaked, He called for St Peter. "Pete, he said, who is are number one maintenance man? " St Peter answered, "Lord at this time we do not have one, but down one earth is a number one jack of all trades who could fix any thing for you. " So the Lord told St Peter to send down the angels of mercy and bring him up to heaven. That afternoon the angels came and got Bill Kratky Jr. St Peter was waiting for him with open arms and took him straight to the Lord. God said "Welcome Bill" I sure need you up here, so many things in heaven need repair. The Lord personally took Billy to a maintenance building, with all the best tools Billy had every seen. Then the Lord put a golden tool belt on Bill and said "My Son, make heaven a place with no problems. Bill said I'll do my best for you. " So now Billy is pain free, no worries, no problems, and is with his maker, who will watch over him and care for him. He will always be missed, never forgotten. Till we all meet again, we send you our love. In memory of William ( Bill) Kratky Jr. |
