Vicki and I were both very saddened to get the news. I wish I could make it down, but just can't. I will never forget the advice Sarah gave me after Dad died, that a dark cloud would hang over my head for several months and then it would suddenly lift. That was helpful not only when Dad died,but with Mother's death as well. I have shared this with others and they have found it beneficial also. Thanks for helping myself and others through some difficult times. Time and distance has a way of separating all of us, but I have a lot of fond memories of your family growing up. Both of us send our love and condolences. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Words cannot take away the pain you feel but knowing that others are thinking of you can be a source of strength. May you be comforted in knowing that others are here for you. Revelation 21:3, 4 promises a time when there will be no more death, sickness, pain or suffering.
