Mike and Dottie, and your family, I am so sorry for your loss. No words can ever be said to ease the broken heart for the loss of a parent. May you find peace in knowing that she is at peace with the Lord and that one day all of you will be reunited in the Kingdom of Heaven May he give you peace in your time of sorrow, ( Debby Gibbs, I used to work at the Fountain years ago but I never forgot the two of you.)
