Johnny, Marcia, and family,
Oddly enough, we found out all of you were experiencing the loss of a loved one on the exact day we were. Jay's father passed away on Friday, too. It is so difficult this time of year....something we would not have planned to have happened, but isn't it nice to know they'll be spending Christmas with Jesus? Please know we are thinking about you and keeping you in our hearts and prayers. Fond memories, glimpses of wonderful moments of the past, and a legacy of love will remain in your hearts forever. God bless you all!
