Dear Family, The Bible tells us that the righteous perish and no one ponders it in his heart; the devout are taken away and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find peace as they lie in death. May God comtinue to comfort you at this difficult time. I Love you all.
