Connor, a dear friend, passed away on 14 September 2008. He was battling a severe case of lung infection after a series of chemotheraphy and radiotheraphy treatments for cancer.I wrote him a letter.
Dear Connor,
I know you’re in heaven now, walking along the streets of gold and meeting all your new friends and people from the bible! It must be so exciting :) How does your mansion look like? It must be so amazing! I have so many questions for you. Are there many animals in heaven? What do you do all day? Can you fly? Did you meet my 2 grandpas? What’s the temperature? Can you see us on heaven TV?
Anyway, just wanted to say we miss you terribly here on earth. Can’t find someone like you easily – kind, compassionate, gentle, joyful, faithful, generous and loves Yeshua so much. I’m so blessed to have had you in my cell group, you gave so much and took so little. And you’re always smiling and joyful, never complaining about anything. Thanks for the steamboat you cooked for us :) It was really delicious. What do you eat in heaven?
It seems like we’re so busy with life here on earth, that we only truly realize what we’ve lost after it’s gone. Many of us took for granted that you were going to be around just as long as we would be. But you finished your task on earth much faster than us, and you got to go home first.

We’ll always remember you for the wonderful man that you were and we will learn to be more like Yeshua, just like you.
See you soon, Connor!
