I would like to express my deepest condolences. Nothing can compare to the deep pain from the loss of a loved one. Soon, death will no longer have the power to take those we love. 1 Corinthians 15:26

Ginny,
Carol and I send our sincere condolences. Marv became a fast friend through Woody's introduction. I enjoyed many hours of conversation from someone who had a beautiful and thoughtful perspective on life. I will miss him.

Ginny, My deepest sympathy to you. I was in one of Dr. Austin's first classes at CSCC. I'll never forget the day in poetry class when he flipped a chair over to wake us up. Mind you it was a 7:45 a.m. poetry class. His quick wit and love of his subject matter compelled his students to want to learn.

Ginny,

Please accept my sincere sympathies. Do not underestimate the value of prayer. It is not that prayer simply makes us feel better. The " Hearer of prayer " promises to give holy spirit to his servants who sincerely ask for it. ( Psalm 65 : 2; Luke 11 : 13 ) Yes, more than anything else, a relationship with God can help his faithful servants to cope with the death of a loved one.
