Tara,
My heartfelt sympathy and sincere condolences to you and your family on the recent passing of your father. Nothing can be said to ease the pain of a losing a loved one other than to cherish the memories (laugh between the tears) and to gain strength and support from loved ones. Take care and you are always in my thoughts and prayers.

The Hochheim family- I thought so much of your parents...they always treated me as part of the family. I will cherish the memories of sitting at the kitchen table when they lived in Guinea and looking at pictures and talking about how they met and when your Dad was in the navy. He was such a gentle man & had such a sweet spirit. I'll remember that smile. May the holy spirit of Jesus Christ comfort you in this time of grief. Much Love, Marie & Allen Jenkins or email [email protected]
