Betty and Wayne,

I am so sorry for your loss. All of you were a big part of my childhood, and you were there with me when I lost Daddy and then again when I lost Mamma. Take care, and I will have you in my thoughts and prayers.

I have not been able to speak to the family personally however, when we lose someone we love the loss seems too great to bear no words can express the hurt and anguish nor touch on how you feel but God shares your tears and gives the family His love. Soon God will wipe out every tear from our eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away‚?¶..Revelation 21:4

My deepest sympathy
