I am sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Couston he will be greatly missed. He was blessed to live a very long life. Psalms 90:10 says that people who live to be 80 and older have "extra strength", he had that extra strength. May the family be guided by the God of comfort in this sad time.

March 25, 2013

May the peace of God that excels all thought be with you and give you strength during this most difficult time. My sincere condolences to the entire Couston family.
