Dear Randy and Terry
The sadness I feel for the both of you is sobering. I know there are no words I can say that will take away your pain. I am praying that our Precious JESUS will send peace and comfort to you. But the bright side is you will see again when our Jesus calls us home. I am so sorry I cannot be there because of financel restrictions. but know i am there in heart just as i was with your daddy. wish i knew this was available then. Love you both
