Jean, and Family, You are in our thoughts and prayers. We pray that God will stenghthen you and may he find a comforting place in your heart. Look to the hills whence cometh your help, your help cometh from the Lord. "For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning".
