VIRGINIA
BEACH - 2 Timothy 4:7 - I have fought a good fight. I have finished the
race. I have kept the faith. I am going Home.
We asked The Lord to
heal him or take him Home. And The Lord said 'Come on Home, Bubba. I
have this mansion for you. I know you will be pleased. Stand Tall and
walk thru The Gate.' So, on the evening of September 23, 2014, Theria
Roland Goss, Jr., age 71, did just that. He stood tall, as he had not
done in 13 years. |

Looking good, Dad! Enjoy the harp lessons, the unlimited golf on
courses designed for lefties, the steak and seafood dinners, and
watching Yankees baseball and Redskins football, from the stars.
Watch over us from above. We love you sooo much, and even though we
miss you already, we give thanks to God that he's welcomed you Home!

Dear Carolyn, Donna, and
DG - I was very sad to hear the news about Bub. The
impression he made was one that stays with me even today -
whether talking about walking the Masters practice rounds,
bailing us out of trouble, or his wry sense of humor when he
was needling us about something (anything). You all were a
second family to me and will always have a cherished place
in my heart. I'm sorry for the pain you must be dealing with
now, but know, too, that he is in a better, blessed place.
All our best - Chris (& Mandy, Henry, and Reese)

It is with great sorrow
that I hear about my friend Bubba, as we go back to the Army
Reserves in Hampton. There was never a more striking troop
than Bubba in his starched tailored uniform with the
spit-shined combat boots. He set the goal for the rest of
the company. I will never forget the time we spent together.
He was one fine person and will be greatly missed by all.

Blessèd assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
Refrain
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior, all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior, all the day long.
Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
Refrain
Perfect submission, all is at rest
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.
