To Jean, her children, their families and all grandchildren:
Words come very hard at time of loss but we must always remember the prayer that our Father gave to us. Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen
Keeping all of you in our prayers.
Tony and Sandy
