Masons believe sincerely that when life on earth comes to a close, the soul in translated from the imperfections of this mortal sphere to that all-perfect glorious and Celestial Lodge above where God, the Great Architect of the Universe, presides.
With these truths and convictions our Brother was well acquainted, though perfection of character is not of this world, yet we are persuaded that our Brother sought to live by these truths and principles of Masonry; that they sustained and supported him and that by them his life was made richer, fuller, and more meaningful.
On behalf of Masons worldwide and Kempsville Lodge #196,A.F & A.M., Virginia Beach, Va we offer you our sincere condolences.

Bill Rawson, Worshipful Master
