Dear Kenny, Nancy & Dennis

I only just heard today from Lois Toutwid about your mother. I am so sorry for your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you all. My mother, Rita, always asks about Cathy and I had no phone numbers to inquire. She will be saddened to hear this news. Contact me at my e-mail so we can keep in touch. My sincere condolences during this difficult time. Death is such an enemy and so painful, I still miss my dad very much and the hope found in God's word really sustains me.
