So sorry to hear. Prayers for all the family. Grew up in the country as neighbors and also related as distance cousins.

The only 30 minute telephone conversation I anticipated and looked forward to was with Martin. I knew I would gain knowledge as well as feel rewarded by the conversation.
A friend.
