Our sincere sympathy in the death of Loyce. I can't imagine the sadness in all of your hearts in the loss of your mother and father so close together. Beyond the sadness, we all know they are together again worshipping God and Jesus. May this assurance comfort you as you meet tomorrow for her funeral and then your family gathering. Prayers and love to all of you. Frances and W. T. Victory.
