You and your family are in my prayers for God's mercy and all sufficient grace.

Liz,

I was in to see Le and Tammy today May 28th and learned of the passing of your husband. I just want to extend my sympathy to you and your family. I know we have only visited at the nail shop but enjoyed talking and visiting with you and your husband. I did call Le just now to let her know I saw it in today's Chronicle. They are very concerned and thinking about you there at the shop.

Please know that you and your family are in my prayers.
