For my cousins:
May your faith be as strong as a mountain wall
And subtle as the early morning mists
May you believe that God's power conquers all
And His love through trouble and pain persists
May your faith soar like a bird
And shine brighter than the sun
Because you know your prayers are ever heard
And Jesus waits when the final day is done
And may God bless you
The Father who rules the starry skies
The Son who rose from the dead
And the Spirit who comes in hope

To Viola's family, We were saddened to hear about your Mom's passing. I'm so happy that I was able to spend a few minutes with her just prior to Christmas when the kindergarten students came across the street & sang to her. That was so great. We will miss her. Our condolences to the Hackbarth family.
