Dana I wanted to tell you that I love you and have been praying for you and your family since I got the news last night. We are in Tennessee so I will not get to be there but my prayers will be. Just think about that phrase we have heard often, that to be absent from this body is to be PRESENT WITH THE LORD....PRAISE GOD
