On August 2nd 2024, God whispered to Thomas John Heyer, it's time my son, come to Me.

He felt the peace, he saw the light, closed his eyes, and journeyed away on his heavenly flight.

His earthly body had let him down.  He was tired, always confused, ready to be perfect again,

God's promise, ready for the trip uptown.  Heaven was calling, God wanted him by His side.

Wings were issued, he rolled his eyes. No green tractor, no Goldwing bike, for this eternal ride.

God's will be done.  He left with a sigh.
