To Penny, R.J., and all of the Smith family.
I was completely schocked when I met June and Jules Saturday evening and was told about the loss of your father. My heart goes out to each of you, because I have had to deal with the same thing. It's been 33 years since my father passed, and 29, for mother. Some days it feels as if it were only yesterday. However, God is able to ease the pain, wipe away the tears, and keep the family together. I know all of your are grounded in the Word. Again, I am truly sorry and eminsly sorry I was unable to attend. I still feel like a part of the family.
