Sondra, When I look at your Dad's picture it is just like he is here saying hello and ready to visit. He had such a welcoming smile and warm nature. He shared the rare gift of presence with us; A visit with Bob Pierce was always whole hearted. He made you feel like there was nothing more important in the whole world at that moment than being with you; a practice I attempt to emulate. He and your Mom were soul mates and I smile at memories of seeing them together. Be good to yourself as life changes require tenderness and care. Father's play a significant role in our lives; it is difficult to lose them. I have witnessed your strength which comes from a deep faith. Your strength and faith added to the love that surrounds you will guide you through this journey.
Know that you and your entire family are being held in our hearts. Much love to all of you. May peace prevail.
