Mary Lee & Family,
We are so sorry to hear about David; we just found out today. We are at The Outer Banks for Thanksgiving. We have been blessed to know all of you. And were glad we could spend some time with you all at your home last Sunday. I know this has been a difficult journey, but we are thankful to know that your close family will help you all through this time. But we have also been able to observe your servant's hearts. We love you all so much and if there is anything we can do to be of assistance please don't hesitate to call. Please keep in touch, we will miss you all so much.
God Bless you all
