Lori and Family,

Just wanted to know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. So sorry for your loss. Jay was a good friend to our brother William as well as you and your family. I am sure they are sharing a few jokes right now.
Take care and God bless.

Joan, the prayers of my family are with you and yours. I pray you and your family find peace in knowing that your brother was welcomed home with open arms. Also take comfort in Paul's writing in Romans 8:18 "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the Glory that is to be revealed to us."
