Jimmy and Helene
I know the pain and loss of a dear one like this and it is crushing and nobody can understand what that pain is like except you. I feel for you, I weep for you, and am in sorrow for you. That is why we need to keep short accounts of each other while we are still around and love each other dearly while we have each other.
May God give you strength now and hold you fast now while you grieve and mourn the lost of cousin Al.
These losses of our's points me to the savior, the Lord Jesus Himself realizing that we all have feet of clay and are on on a collision course with eternity and it drives me closer to Him and it sets my feet on a rock knowing that when it is my time to depart I will be with Him forever and with all the saints.
Accept my heartfelt sorrow and tears for you and both.

There are some blessings in Al's passing. He did pass quickly, without
suffering. I know that is little consolation and comfort for you, but it is worth mentioning. Sure wish I had spent some time with him. He was
a cool guy!

Al is now with The Great I AM! And that is what is important!

Hope to see you and Joanne with us--either in New Hampshire, or
Florida.

Love-ya Man!
