Gloria and George,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. You know I loved your father as though he were mine for many years. May God give you strength as you go through this period of mourning. I too have had to ask for strength since my sister's death just a few weeks ago. If there is anything I can do for either of you, please let me know.

Gloria and George;
All say “How hard it is that we have to die”-- a strange complaint to come from the mouths of people who have had to live. Some people are so afraid to die that they never begin to live. Uncle James lived a full, long and good life. Death, is not the last sleep, it is the final awakening. Early Friday morning God’s finger touched Uncle James, and he slept.
